Re: Occur lite

[B. T. Raven]

Thanks, Raffaele. The Emacs manual doesn't have a menu item for Occur
and I don't find it under the "Search" topics. Do you mean that this
capability is built in or does it require another package? At

http://emacswiki.org/emacs/OccurMode#toc12

under "View matches only" there is code for an "occurences" function
that looks like it might work but I don't understand it and don't need
much of its functionality (text properties, etc.) but it would be nice
to retain the line number and colon and have the occurences printed one
per line. Anyway, I can try it if the line

(interactive (occur-read-primary-args))

means that I can invoke it as M-x occurences.

Thanks again,

Ed
