I am fairly new to emacs and I want to learn emacs Lisp. In particular, is it possible to write elisp functions in, say, the scratch buffer to do some complex text-processing on my program file example.cpp
whose buffer I would have open in another frame.
Indeed if I could write some elisp code to do text-processing across all the files in the project folder that would be even better!
I am using Spacemacs

. Once you know how to act on a desired buffer, you feel you passed the hardest cliff of leaning elisp and see the huge possibilities. – Yasushi Shoji Feb 9 '16 at 6:18
