Subject: | How to PICK the CTRL-u argument from the file or some other method, with EXAMPLE |
Date: | 22 Sep 2004 18:05:50 -0700 |
An example would clarify the problem: Suppose you want to paste a single killed line (in kill buffer using two C-k's) you can trivially do it like this: C-u 2 C-y In this case you had to enter the numbers. I have a file like this: 5 line1 6 line2 Now I must convert it to a file with 5 line1's and 6 line2's and so on. It is a long file. How do I pick 5 and put it into C-u so that it is done 5 times. I can write macros. and I can also write single line lisp functions. Unfortunately there is no yank cammand that can take the argument 5. nor do i know the lisp function that can take the count and pass it to lisp function yank. I would want to avoid writing a loops, and vars etc. Thanks to the star who can help!!! jose
