Re: Need help writing file-visiting macro

[Martin Slouf]

Indeed a great thread!

I found inforamtion here very usefull and i am surprised how easy it is.
thanks.

In fact i do a lot of Java editting (jakarta struts) and there is a lot of
files whith deterministic filename (thanks to the naming conventions we use).

The files are unfortunately in different directories.  I know very little of
elisp, though i use Emacs a lot.

Is there an easy modification of this piece of code that can help me to find
files in different directories?  i guess these are the string manipulation
functions.

The situation is like this:

For each business level class (BankAccount.java) (located somewhere under the
'src' directory structure) there are at least two jsp pages:
bank_account_edit_.jsp and bank_account_list_.jsp under the 'web' directory
structure), ie:

top dir
+
|
+-- src (Java source in packages)
|    |
|    +-- somewhere
|            |
|            +-- BankAccount.java
|
+---web (JSP pages using jakarta-struts)
     |
     +-- somewhere
             |
             +-- bank_account_edit_.jsp
             |
             +-- bak_account_list_.jsp


i get those macros (proposed in thi sthread) open the same buffer with modified
name in the same directory.  My questions are like this:

1. what string function can be used to make the string BankAccount to transform
it into bank_account_edit_ and bank_account_list_

2. what functions should be used to open those jsp buffers (java buffer
respectively)?, when each of this file is / can be in different directory?

thanks a lot for an answer.

Nowadays i use file-cache to search for a file.
