Snippet to display a fortune in the mini-buffer
| (require 'fortune) | |
| ;; Be sure to set the following to your specific fortune files | |
| (setq fortune-dir "~/.fortunes" | |
| fortune-file "~/.fortunes/fortunes") | |
| (defun fortune-message (&optional file) | |
| "Display a fortune cookie to the mini-buffer. | |
| If called with a prefix, it has the same behavior as `fortune'. | |
| Optional FILE is a fortune file from which a cookie will be selected." | |
| (interactive (list (if current-prefix-arg | |
| (fortune-ask-file) | |
| fortune-file))) | |
| (message (fortune-generate))) | |
| (defun fortune-generate (&optional file) | |
| "Generate a new fortune and return it as a string. | |
| Without an optional FILE argument it will use the value of `fortune-file'." | |
| (save-excursion | |
| (progn (fortune-in-buffer t file) | |
| (with-current-buffer fortune-buffer-name | |
| (buffer-string))))) |
