emacs 23 and emacsclient question.

[Michal]

Hallo Group Readers.

In emacs 23, when I invoke:

prompt$ /usr/local/bin/emacsclient --eval "(current-buffer)" "(point)"

I get the following:

#<buffer  *server*>
1

.. instead of getting name of buffer and point emacs is in, at
emacsclient invocation.

Have You got idea how to get  current buffer and point?

Best regards,
Michal

You can try:

  emacsclient --eval "(with-current-buffer (window-buffer
(selected-window)) (cons (current-buffer) (point)))"

or perhaps

  emacsclient --eval "(with-current-buffer (window-buffer
(selected-window)) (point-marker))"

or some other variant whose output is more suited to your needs.

You can use
"(car (buffer-list))"
"(with-current-buffer (car (buffer-list)) (point))"

Since Emacs 23 can have multiple terminals, this might not be
well-defined in all cases.
