Re: selected word as parameter to function

[Rodrigo Canellas]

Thanks, but I would like to write it myself...

I will try to get the input from the cursor's position later. For now, I 
would like the user to input the text.

So, I tried this:

(defun my-grep (pattern)
 "this is my grep - still developing"
 (interactive "sEnter the text to search for: ")
 (grep -nH -R --include="*.cpp" --include="*.h" --include ="*.c" -e 
pattern .)
)

When I type 'M-x my-grep', and input "Good", 'emacs' reports:

my-grep: Symbol's value as variable is void: -nH

I tried 'C-h f grep' and I could not realize what I am doing wrong...

All the help is much appreciated...

Thanks!!
