Re: [Bug-AUCTeX] 11.88; TeX-region-create uses `find-file-noselect'

[Massimo Lauria]

Hi Tassilo,

thank you for the quick reply.

The link provided in the my original message contains the discussion
from emacs.stackexchange.com I was pointed to when I told about this
problem
there.

They suggested to file a bug to AUCTeX.

I am not at all an elisp programmer, but I guess
that with-temp-buffer and with-temp-file are friends here.

E.g.

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert-file-contents "hello.txt")
  (setq temp (buffer-string))
  (with-temp-file "hello2.txt"
    (insert temp)
    ))

which works even if "hello2.,txt" is actually "hello.txt".

Of course I don't know exactly what it is supposed to happen in the
actual creation/manipulation of _region_.tex so this snippet may not
help you at all.
