使用emacs在一组文件前添加一行文本

Question

Is there any way of prepending a line of text to a set of files within emacs?

I can do search and replace across files using find-grep-dired , then marking the files and doing a target string - replacement string

But in this instance I don't want to 'replace' anything just prepend a single line to the start of a set of files with the '.ini' extension.

Answer 1

In emacs regular expressions, \\` matches the beginning of the buffer. So if you have all the files marked in a dired buffer, just do a dired-do-query-replace-regexp ( Q ) and replace \\` with the line you'd like to prepend.
