26;; Search a database of files and use dired commands on
27;; the result.
28;;
29\f
30;; Installation:
31;;
32;; Place the following in your .emacs file:
33;;
34;; ;; redefines dired-get-filename as a switch function
35;;
36;; (require 'advice)
37;; (defadvice dired-get-filename (around check-mode activate)
38;; "Use an alternative function in Locate mode"
39;; (cond ((eq major-mode 'locate-mode)
40;; (setq ad-return-value (locate-get-filename)))
41;; (t
42;; ad-do-it)))
43;;
44;; DOS and WINDOWS Users:
45;;
46;;;;; Building a database of files ;;;;;;;;;
47;;
48;; You can create a simple files database with a port of the Unix find command
49;; and one of the various Windows NT various scheduling utilities,
50;; for example the AT command from the NT Resource Kit, WinCron which is
51;; included with Microsoft FrontPage, or the shareware NTCron program.
52;;
53;; To set up a function which searches the files database, do something
54;; like this:
55;;
56;; (defvar locate-fcodes-file (concat my-home "/fcodes"))
57;; (defvar locate-make-command-line 'nt-locate-make-command-line)
58;;
59;; (defun nt-locate-make-command-line (arg)
60;; (cons "grep"
61;; (mapconcat 'identity
62;; (list "-i" arg locate-fcodes-file)
63;; " ")))
64;;
65;;;;;;;; ADVICE For dired-make-relative: ;;;;;;;;;
66;;
67;; For certain dired commands to work right, you should also include the
68;; following in your _emacs/.emacs:
69;;
70;; (defadvice dired-make-relative (before set-no-error activate)
71;; "For locate mode and Windows, don't return errors"
72;; (if (and (eq major-mode 'locate-mode)
73;; (memq system-type (list 'windows-nt 'ms-dos)))
74;; (ad-set-arg 2 t)
75;; ))
76;;
77;; Otherwise, dired-make-relative will give error messages like
78;; "FILENAME: not in directory tree growing at /"
79\f
80;;; Commentary:
81;;
82;; Locate.el provides an interface to a program which searches a
83;; database of file names. By default, this program is the GNU locate
84;; command, but it could also be the BSD-style find command, or even a
85;; user specified command.
86;;
87;; To use the BSD-style "fast find", or any other shell command of the
88;; form
89;;
90;; SHELLPROGRAM Name-to-find
91;;
92;; set the variable locate-command in your .emacs file.
93;;
94;; To use a more complicated expression, create a function which
95;; takes a string (the name to find) as input and returns a cons
96;; pair: the car should be the command to be executed, the cdr
97;; should be the arguments, concatenated into a string (including
98;; the name to find). Then do
99;;
100;; (setq locate-make-command-line 'my-locate-command-line)
101;;
102;; in your .emacs, using the name of your function in place of
103;; my-locate-command-line
104;;
105;; You should make sure that whichever command you use works correctly
106;; from a shell prompt. GNU locate and BSD find expect the file databases
107;; to either be in standard places or located via environment variables.
108;; If the latter, make sure these environment variables are set in
109;; your emacs process
110;;
111;; Locate-mode assumes that each line output from the locate-command
112;; consists exactly of a file name, possibly preceded or trailed by
113;; whitespace. If your file database has other information on the line (for
114;; example, the file size), you will need to redefine the function
115;; locate-get-file-positions to return a list consisting of the first
116;; character in the file name and the last character in the file name.
117;;
118;; To use locate-mode, simply type M-x locate and then the string
119;; you wish to find. You can use almost all of the dired commands in
120;; the resulting *Locate* buffer. It is worth noting that your commands
121;; do not, of course, affect the file database. For example, if you
122;; compress a file in the locate buffer, the actual file will be
123;; compressed, but the entry in the file database will not be
124;; affected. Consequently, the database and the filesystem will be out
125;; of sync until the next time the database is updated
126;;
127;; The command locate-with-filter keeps only lines matching a
128;; regular expression; this is often useful to constrain a big search.
