THanks, John, I'm sure you're right actually. So I've just written my
matching function like this:
(lambda (f) (string-match (concat "\\\(" fname "\\\)\\\([^[:alnum:]]\\\)*"
lname) f))
and if that has a nil result:
(lambda (f) (string-match (concat "\\\(" nname "\\\)\\\([^[:alnum:]]\\\)*"
lname) f))
That seems to work pretty well so far. And as you suggest, I've written a
simple function that calls read-file-name for org-attach-attach in the
appropriate directory -- though it' s extremely simple, it makes manual
attachment much quicker when my brain starts to get foggy from grading
papers.
