reloading all open buffers

reloading all open buffers

[Javier Oviedo]

Hello all. I like to call a function that would "reload" all buffers that I
have open...with the exception of buffers that have been modified but not
yet saved. Can someone help me out with this? Thanks in advance.

This is at least a start:

(defun reload-all-buffers ()
  (interactive)
  (dolist (buffer (buffer-list))
    (if (and (buffer-file-name buffer)          ;; Ignoring buffers like *scratch* and *Messages*
	     (not (buffer-modified-p buffer)))  ;; Ignoring buffers which have been modified
	(let ((file (buffer-file-name buffer)))
	  (if (file-exists-p file)              ;; Checking that the file still exists
	      (save-excursion
		(set-buffer buffer)
                (revert-buffer t t)))))))

If you want it to happen automatically, try autorevert mode.

I am familiar with auto-revert mode. It is nifty but I only want it to
happen at selected times. Thanks anyway.

If you use ibuffer (which comes with cvs), you can mark the buffers
you want reverted and press 'V'.

  'V' - Revert the marked buffers.
