| M-(
|
(dired-mark-sexp) Mark files for which predicate returns
non-nil. With a prefix argument, unflag those files instead.
The predicate is a lisp expression that can refer to the following
symbols:
inode
|
[integer] the inode of the file (only for `ls -i' output)
|
s
|
[integer] the size of the file for `ls -s' output (usually in blocks or,
with `-k', in KBytes)
|
mode
|
[string] file permission bits, e.g., `"-rw-r--r--"'
|
nlink
|
[integer] number of links to file
|
uid
|
[string] owner
|
gid
|
[string] group (If the gid is not displayed by `ls', this
will still be set (to the same as uid))
|
size
|
[integer] file size in bytes
|
time
|
[string] the time that `ls' displays, e.g., `"Feb 12 14:17"'
|
name
|
[string] the name of the file
|
sym
|
[string] if file is a symbolic link, the linked-to name, else `""'
|
For example, use
-
(equal 0 size)
to mark all zero length files.
To find out all not yet compiled Emacs lisp files in a directory, dired
all `.el' files in the lisp directory using the wildcard
`*.el'. Then use M-( with
-
(not (file-exists-p (concat name "c")))
to mark all `.el' files without a corresponding `.elc' file.
