After extensive testing,
==
(defun fildi ()
(find-file "~/Sayings")
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (< (point) (point-max))
(when (looking-at ".")
(insert "#"))
(forward-line))
)
==
does not work. When I evaluate it using C-x C-e (in a buffer), it only
says `fildi', which does not look very interesting. What am I doing
wrong? It finds the file; it goes to the beginning of it; while it has
not reached the end of the file, it looks for a line containing a dot
(as every saying ends by a dot); while this works, it inserts a "#"
and, as the cursor is at the beginning of the line, it inserts a "#"
at the beginning of the line. It also goes to the next line. And?
