Leclerc) Newsgroups: comp.emacs Subject: Etags problems Message-ID: Date: 19 Jun 89 16:45:36 GMT Sender: pel@unh.UUCP Organization: University of New Hampsha Lines: 31 I am using Gnu emacs version 18.51 on both a Vax running Ultrix and a Sun running SunOS 4.0. I may be mislead or am doing something wrong but...... I have etag'd all my sources for a program that I am maintaining. If I have a routine named foo() and dofoo() And if I find-tag-other-window or just find-tag, using foo() as the thing to find, it finds dofoo() instead. I think I know the problem and a possible solution but maybe somebody knows something better. I think the tags program is just picking the first thing it sees in the tag file. I know that I can tag-continue-loop, but *I* want emacs to find what I want the first time. Is there a way to do this the way I want it to without having to write my own? Thanks Paul Leclerc PS. I don't/can't want to change the sources of my program to make them more unique. Why should I have to? -- =========================================================================== Paul Leclerc, Computer Specialist III |Bitnet: P_LECLERC@UNHH.BITNET University of NH |UUCP: ...uunet!unh!pel ===========================================================================
