I don't know. IMHO, I think `C-x C-b', `d' on buffers you want to
delete, `x' to execute and `C-x 4 0' are a very easy way to kill
multiple buffers.

Thanks, I'll give those a try.

By default `C-x C-b' runs the command list-buffers. drkm must use the
same customization I do:

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-b" 'electric-buffer-list)

Hum... No. I didn't know this command. I just forgot the `C-x o'.
It's interresting. Thanks for the link and the correction.

(defun kill-buffers-matching (regexp)
(interactive "sKill buffers matching: ")
(dolist (i (buffer-list))
(when (string-match regexp (buffer-name i))
(kill-buffer i))))

Thank you very much for this Henrik. I figured I'd have to use
buffer-list but wasn't sure of how to go about it.

Anyway, while I'm writing, as an Emacs/Elisp novice, I find this list
to be quite a friendly, helpful place, so thanks to all you more
experienced users for sharing your knowledge.


Regards,

Matthew

Or, if you prefer `buffer-menu', as I do:

(substitute-key-definition 'list-buffers 'buffer-menu global-map)

This might be helpful in constructing such a function:

In midnight.el you find the function clean-buffer-list which is
controlled by several variables one of which is

clean-buffer-list-kill-regexps
