next-error for dired-find?

next-error for dired-find?

[Mike Halloran]

Is there a good way to run a file search, and use the c-x backtick (c-
x `) (next-error) command to jump to each file?

c-x backtick works with grep, and grep-find. Basically, I am looking
to do a quick browse through each cpp file in my source tree.

Any thoughts?

A quick look at `next-error-function' lead me to this most
simplistic solution. Maybe this already implemented somewhere,
I can't tell.

(defun dired-next-error-function (arg reset)
   (dired-next-line arg)
   (dired-advertised-find-file))

;; this is just one way to set the local `next-error-function'
;; variable
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
           #'(lambda nil
               (setq next-error-function 'dired-next-error-function)))

Have a look at traverselisp.el, it provide a nice interface to navigate
in the result of your search.
