Thanks a lot for your hints. So I did the exercise. Everything works
well as long as the file do not exist. The second copy fails:
Signaling: (file-already-exists "/r@rcp:root@momo:/root/ho")
signal(file-already-exists ("/r@rcp:root@momo:/root/ho"))
(progn (signal (quote file-already-exists) (list newname)))
)
(if (file-exists-p newname) (progn (signal ... ...)))
)
(when (file-exists-p newname) (signal (quote file-already-exists) (list newname)))
)
(if ok-if-already-exists nil (when (file-exists-p newname) (signal ... ...)))
)
(unless ok-if-already-exists (when (file-exists-p newname) (signal ... ...)))
)
rcp-do-copy-file("/home/bav/tmp/ooo" "/r@rcp:root@momo:/root/ho" nil nil)
(if (or (rcp-rcp-file-p file) (rcp-rcp-file-p newname)) (rcp-do-copy-file file
newname ok-if-already-exists keep-date) (rcp-run-real-handler (quote copy-file) (list
file newname ok-if-already-exists)))
)
rcp-handle-copy-file("/home/bav/tmp/ooo" "/r@rcp:root@momo:ho")
(while list (setq aktfil (car list)) (message "%s ..." (concat "scp -p "
buffer-file-name " " aktfil)) (rcp-handle-copy-file buffer-file-name aktfil) (setq
list (cdr list)))
)
(lambda nil "Sichert den aktuellen Buffer und startet die Shell-Prozedur rcpbuf"
(interactive) (save-buffer) (message "%s wurde gesichert" buffer-file-name) (setq list
rcpbuf-todo) (while list (setq aktfil ...) (message "%s ..." ...)
(rcp-handle-copy-file buffer-file-name aktfil) (setq list ...)) (message "rcpbuf
beendet ..."))()
call-interactively(save-buffer-and-rcp)
command-execute(save-buffer-and-rcp t)
execute-extended-command(nil)
call-interactively(execute-extended-command)
I'm sorry for the lengthy output. This is what I did in my lisp
exercise:
(while list
(setq aktfil (car list))
(message "%s ..." (concat "scp -p " buffer-file-name " " aktfil))
; (sit-for 2)
(rcp-handle-copy-file buffer-file-name aktfil)
(setq list (cdr list)))
with e.g. these local variables in the file I want to copy:
# Local Variables:
# rcpbuf-todo: ("/r@rcp:root@momo:ho")
# End:
Any further hints would be very helpful for me. I'm really by no means
a lisp programmer, so the exercise turned out to be an adventure ...
Kind regards
Gerd
