nbecker> This script reads a file produced from the command: nbecker> xemacs -batch -vanilla -f list-load-path-shadows nbecker> Note you must edit the output to remove the crud at the beginning and nbecker> end. Then run this script with that file as stdin: nbecker> #!/usr/bin/python2 nbecker> import sys nbecker> import string nbecker> import os nbecker> def move (file): nbecker> if (os.path.exists (file)): nbecker> print file nbecker> os.rename (file, file + ".duplicate") nbecker> for line in sys.stdin.readlines(): nbecker> file = string.split (line)[0] nbecker> move (file + ".el") nbecker> move (file + ".elc") Blasphemy! It should be elisp! (Sorry, too lazy to code up the elisp equivalent, plus, I have to go home now....) Ray
