Re: Storing of a buffer line number to a file

[Alexandre S Iline]

Thank you very much - it helps a lot.

Now I'm able to create the function I need:
(defun my-what-line ()
  (interactive)
  (let (buff line)
    (setq line (int-to-string (count-lines (point-min) (point))))
    (kill-buffer (get-buffer-create "linenum"))
    (find-file "/tmp/linenum");
    (delete-region (point-min) (point-max))
    (insert line)
    (insert "\n")
    (save-buffer)
    (kill-buffer (get-buffer-create "linenum"))))

It does exactly what I need.

But, I'm still wondering: is there any simplier way to
write something to file?

Thanks.

Shura.
