Perhaps I should be more specific. If I ran:
$emacs ./*
It would open up all files in the directory, but this would include
backup files (i.e. beginning with a # and ending with a # or ~).
Is it possible to tell emacs to ignore those files?
No, you have to tell your shell not to pass them to emacs. I don't
usually have autosave files lying around, so exclude backup files I
would run: emacs !(*~)
I was thinking of something like:
$emacs ./*.php
If for example I wanted to access all PHP scripts in a directory. But
then if there were any HTML pages they wouldn't be displayed.
emacs *.php *.html
Plus this
involves exiting and restarting emacs. I was hoping there would be a
more elegant solution.
The elegant solution is to open the directory in dired, then go from there
(see Dave Footitt's response): emacs .
