How to reference the main search window/buffer
« on: September 07, 2007, 05:35:52 pm »
Hello,

I am trying to make reference to the search window, however I cannot find any documentation about it.  I am utilizing fileman_find to search files, and I would like to transfer the search results to my active buffer from the search buffer with _buf_transfer.  How do i reference the main search buffer (Search<0>)?

 :-\

Thanks

'tbsearch.e - grep_last()' could give some useful pointers.

Thanks.  grep_last() seems to do the job.  It simply copies the contents of the "Search Result" buffer into a new buffer called ".search0".  I can now copy from it and close it when done with it.

Note that the '.search<number>' depends on your search configuration. It's not always '0'.
However, grep_last() refers to the last used search buffer/tab and that's what you need assumingly.
Good luck,
