name of group

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello 

Does anybody know about a function which allows me to determine in
which group I am actually in. Right I just have to look at the
modeline, but does there exist a function or say a variable which
would give me that information?

Thanks

The variable `gnus-newsgroup-name'.

Bye, Reiner.

Thanks, now I realized that there is no function which would allow me
to insert that name, given by the variable you mentioned above, as a
string into a buffer. Something like (current-buffer), which
unfortunately is a built-in function so no easy possibility to get an
idea how it works.

Thanks anyhow

I'm not sure if I understand what you want.  Maybe...

(insert gnus-newsgroup-name)

or better (`gnus-newsgroup-name' might be nil and `insert' wants a
char or a string) ...

(insert (format "%s" gnus-newsgroup-name))

or...

(defun uwe-insert-gnus-newsgroup-name ()
  (insert (format "%s" gnus-newsgroup-name)))
(uwe-insert-gnus-newsgroup-name)

Bye, Reiner.

Right,


   Reiner> (insert (format "%s" gnus-newsgroup-name))

This it was, I must say I did not understand the doc string of insert.
In any case *many thanks*, the above lines were precisely what I wanted.

Try gnus-newsgroup-name, available in the summary and article buffers.
