Eli, Andrew:
What Jari did is an excellent solution (increment cheeking if file exists).
From a user point of view it is very powerful and useful.
Marking a region is trivial but way too costly for me. I want to be one
keystroke
away from getting this file. On Windows I use these type of paths:
c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program
Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/14.00/Default User/PerUser Settings.ini
c:\Program Files\Open Text Evaluation Media\Open Text Exceed 14 x86\Program
Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\14.00\Default User\PerUser Settings.ini
c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program
Files/Hummingbird/
c:\Program Files\Open Text Evaluation Media\Open Text Exceed 14 x86\Program
Files\Hummingbird\
With Jari solution I can get to the file/dir in one keystroke.
I think that this is the power of emacs. No?
Thanks,
Yigal
