Occur/Multi-occur looks great and igrep was just an old version :-) I always had problems to find the newest packages; it looks like that emacswiki has some of the newest ones... One question to multi-occur, right now it displays the matching lines for the given regexp for the chosen files, which is fine, but am I able to run some kine of ediff so multi-occur highlights the different listed lines, e.g.: 20 matches for "inlet" in buffer: *Occur*<2> 35: inletvelocity = 10 [m/s] 38: inlet = 2 9 matches for "inlet" in buffer: keps_small_301.out 36: inletvelocity = 20 [m/s] 40: inlet = 2 So it would highlight the lines containing 'inletvelocity'!?
