Thanks Drew.
You are right, I am not looking to highlight the regexp in the results but only
to highlight it at the top of results.
I checked your grep+.el but the problem is that I already customized grep.el
functions for my needs and don't want to do the same again.
I am not even worried about "highlighting" the regexp, I just want a way to
find out what the expression that I grepped for once I switch to that window.
My customized grep function is something like:
find . -type d \( -name unix -o -name "*_sim" -o -name RCS -o -name CVS -o
-name SCCS \) -prune -o -type f \! -name \*\~ \! -name \*\,v \! -name s.\* \!
-name .\#\* -name \*.\[sch\] -print | xargs -e grep -n -i mem_test /dev/null
So the token "mem_test" which I am looking for would be invisible because it is
at the end of that string.
I just want something like:
The token I am grepping on is: mem_test
find . -type d \( -name unix -o -name "*_sim" -o -name RCS -o -name CVS -o
-name SCCS \) -prune -o -type f \! -name \*\~ \! -name \*\,v \! -name s.\* \!
-name .\#\* -name \*.\[sch\] -print | xargs -e grep -n -i mem_test /dev/null
or, as I mentioned earlier to include that token at the bottom along with the
title of the buffer "*grep* mem_test
I am sure there should be a way to modify the grep.el functions to achieve that
somehow.
