Before reinventing the wheel I ask Netland for an interactive tool in (GNU)
Emacs Lisp doing a replacement in ALL Emacs buffers, something like
query-replace-regexp for multiple files.
I'm developing a C program consisting of many files, and I'd like to rename
some global identifiers.

It doesn't put any tags in it, but who cares. I can then make a TAGS file for any kind of file, and visit them all at once using "M-x tags-search aaaaaaaa" and make query replaces in all files in onw fell swoop. --- CUT -------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # mktags: make an empty TAGS file for emacs. cp /dev/null TAGS exec > TAGS for file do echo ' '"${file},0" done ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Harald Fuchs >fuchs@karlsruhe.gmd.dbp.de ...!uunet!mcvax!unido!gmdka!fuchs Rene' Seindal, CS.
