Function: denote-grep-files-referenced-in-region

denote-grep-files-referenced-in-region is an autoloaded, interactive and byte-compiled function defined in denote.el.

Signature

(denote-grep-files-referenced-in-region QUERY START END)

Documentation

Perform denote-grep QUERY in files referenced between START and END.

When called interactively, prompt for QUERY. Also get START and END as the buffer positions that delimit the marked region. When called from Lisp, QUERY is a string, while START and END are buffer positions, as integers.

Find references to files by their identifier. This includes links with just the identifier (as described in denote-link and related), links written by an Org dynamic block (see the denote-org package), or even file listings such as those of dired and the command-line ls program.
