Re: lisp execution stops after dired

[Valentin Plechinger]

I'm not that fluent in lisp but I think you need something like

(defun vhdl-rename-signal (searchDir)
   "renames signal starting from searchDir"
   (interactive "DEnter top-level directory to search: ")
   ;; first do dired
   (progn
     (find-dired searchDir "-name \*.vhd -or -name \*.qsf")
     (dired-toggle-marks)
     ;; now fancy stuff over direded files
     (message (dired-get-marked-files))))

haven't checked your wether each of your lines actually does what it should
have a look at http://www.rattlesnake.com/intro/progn.html
