Hi, Please, tell me how I may to do "Search and Replace" simultaneously in all buffers and then do "Save" for all buffers simultaneously. That is like open a few files make the same changes in all opened file and save all this files. -- With best regards.

Either `tags-query-replace' or the `Q' command in Dired will allow you to search and replace in multiple files. "C-x s" will save many files at ones.

Hi, I have try to do that: - open two text files in Emacs, did `tags-query- replace' and got message "Visit tags table: (default TAGS) d:/DOCs/UNIX/". What is it? -- With best regards.

tags-query-replace needs a TAGS file. You create it with the etags utility (it's part of the Emacs distribution). But it sounds like you are working with documents, not program sources, in which case this command is not for you. Try `Q' in Dired instead.
In general, if you are unfamiliar with the commands which you are suggested to use, I suggest to read the documentation of those commands. Blindly invoking them without some minimal understanding what they do is not a good idea, IMHO.

Thank you, that works. But all files have to be placed in the same directory. How I can do "Search and Replace" for files from different directories? They all is open in Emacs. I am looking for something as "Search and Replace in all buffers". Please, help! -- With best regards.

There are other ways (like tags facilities), but I like to use Colin Walters' ibuffer package. You can mark buffers and then do operations on them (like replace regexps, save them, etc).

Thank you very much, that works great, but I have to do 'load-library' to load ibuffer. I do not understand what is wrong with my .emacs: ************************************************************ ;;; -*- Emacs-Lisp -*- (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/emacs") load-path))

M-x find-dired RET is one of the commands which allows you to have more than one directory in a dired buffer.
`i' (from dired) is another.

Sorry, that was a stupid mistake. -- With best regards.

Does manually eval the (require 'ibuffer) sentence work?
Maybe you have to check that you don't have a .emacs.elc file.
