Ar an t-aonú lá déag de mí Deireadh Fómhair, scríobh Samuel Bronson: It’s how you can name a keyboard macro; make it the function binding of the symbol with that string name. Sirano, it’s great (and very inventive) that you’ve got XEmacs to do what you want in that way. It’s a whole lot more useful in the medium term, though, to write Lisp programs in the way everyone else does, since that makes it much easier to learn from them. Here’s how your 2expressions macro would usually be written: (defun 2expressions () (interactive) (goto-char (point-min)) (replace-string "." " ") (goto-char (point-min)) (flush-lines "^.+ [0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z][0-9][0-9] e.+$") (goto-char (point-min)) (replace-regexp "\\(^.+\\)       \\(....-....\\) \\([0-9][0-9][0-9][A-Z][0-9][0-9]\\)    .+\\(p.+\\)     .+$" "\3        \\1\.\\2        \\4") (goto-char (point-min)) (vectors_2bhformat) ....) It’s incomplete, but I hope it gives a flavour of how to go about it. F1 k will give information about the function called by a sequence, and you normally call that function from your Lisp code as above (M-< for beginning-of-buffer is an exception, but that’s described in its doc string.) -- “Apart from the nine-banded armadillo, man is the only natural host of Mycobacterium leprae, although it can be grown in the footpads of mice.” -- Kumar & Clark, Clinical Medicine, summarising improbable leprosy research _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
