Indeed a great thread! I found inforamtion here very usefull and i am surprised how easy it is. thanks.
In fact i do a lot of Java editting (jakarta struts) and there is a lot of files whith deterministic filename (thanks to the naming conventions we use). The files are unfortunately in different directories. I know very little of elisp, though i use Emacs a lot. Is there an easy modification of this piece of code that can help me to find files in different directories? i guess these are the string manipulation functions. The situation is like this: For each business level class (BankAccount.java) (located somewhere under the 'src' directory structure) there are at least two jsp pages: bank_account_edit_.jsp and bank_account_list_.jsp under the 'web' directory structure), ie: top dir + | +-- src (Java source in packages) | | | +-- somewhere | | | +-- BankAccount.java | +---web (JSP pages using jakarta-struts) | +-- somewhere | +-- bank_account_edit_.jsp | +-- bak_account_list_.jsp i get those macros (proposed in thi sthread) open the same buffer with modified name in the same directory. My questions are like this: 1. what string function can be used to make the string BankAccount to transform it into bank_account_edit_ and bank_account_list_ 2. what functions should be used to open those jsp buffers (java buffer respectively)?, when each of this file is / can be in different directory? thanks a lot for an answer. Nowadays i use file-cache to search for a file. m.
