Hi list, `find-wget' used to be a bad quick hack with no error checking - that's no longer the case. See:
http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eev-plinks.el.html#find-wget Also, now we have variants with "a" that use `ee-goto-anchor' instead of `ee-goto-position', and variants with "-elisp" that put the buffer with the downloaded stuff in emacs-lisp-mode. Try: (setq my-url "http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eev-plinks.el") (find-wget my-url "find-wget") (find-wgeta my-url "find-wget") (find-wget-elisp my-url "find-wget") (find-wgeta-elisp my-url "find-wget") This can also be used to point to files in git repositories... try: (setq my-url "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edrx/eev/UTF-8/eev-plinks.el") (find-wget my-url "find-wget") (find-wgeta my-url "find-wget") (find-wget-elisp my-url "find-wget") (find-wgeta-elisp my-url "find-wget") and it can also by used on IRC, to share elisp snippets. I use the package `0x0' from MELPA, and I have a function called `u0' - that means "upload the current region to https://0x0.st with 0x0 and show some elisp hyperlinks". The source code for u0 is here: (find-wgeta-elisp "http://angg.twu.net/.emacs.templates" "u0") http://angg.twu.net/.emacs.templates.html#u0 The temporary buffer that `u0' shows has a header and then some links like these: (find-wget "https://0x0.st/-JH1.bin") (find-wget-elisp "https://0x0.st/-JH1.bin") I tested this in an IRC session with Erich Ruff yesterday and it was FANTASTIC - the best way to share elisp snippets EVER. =) Cheers =), Eduardo Ochs http://angg.twu.net/#eev
