- In general the cleaner solution to open a bunch of related files is to
- run etags on the files, visit the tags table, and let emacs open the
- necessary files for you.
-
- This is a far more efficient way of locating and jumping to a
- particular function definition in a collection of C files compared to
- opening all the files together in EMACS. The same applies to TeX files
- etc.
-
- A program called petags was posted on this group a while ago that
- extends etags functionality to syntax not recognized by etags, so
- unless you have some other reason to want to open a bunch of files in
- Emacs using regexps (I don't see any) you should probably use tags.
