How to make the buffer to be display in one windows

How to make the buffer to be display in one windows

[bbook1]

Hi,
When I use the M-x gid which use the lid -R grep ... to open a new
buffer for displaying the search result. The problem is if I use M-X
gid more times, The emacs will open buffers more than one, I only want
to get the updated searched result, and can close the last opend buffer
automatically, So I only have one buffer to be used for m-x gid
command, that is its behavor should be like M-X shell. I try to setting
same-window-regexps like "\\*lid -R grep.*", but it seems is not
available.

Thanks advanced,

Bill

I don't know anything about gid (accept that it's my group's id) or  
lid (I once read at school non-German cars had such things then), I  
usually do a shell-command and it's output appears in a *Shell  
Command Output* buffer -- and there is only one or none at any time.

I get around this by doing M-x grep, then backspacing out the grep, and
running gid.

This opens up the results in the *grep* buffer, and always reuses the buffer.
