Oh, sorry, never mind about the negative argument!. It took me a minute to figure that parenthesis should be put around them. I conveniently updated the code:
(shift-region (- my-tab-width)) so the shifting, to both right and left, will depend on the variable my-tab-width, which a user could change anytime with eval-expression doing M-: RET (setq my-tab-width NUM) RET

Thank you for stopping by, Ian.
The code actually uses indent-rigidly for doing the shifting of columns. In what other way do you mean that function could be used?
The code certainly could be improved. For example you could see than I didn’t know how to pass the negative variable my-tab-width as a negative argument to the function shift-region. (I had to define the same value again, which I know is lame for something so trivial, any clue on that one?)

You might consider refactoring your code to use indent-rigidly, which is capable of shifting regions right and left.

Comment on mini elisp macro for calling find command in shell by Jim Menard

What I do instead is this:

(setq grep-find-command
‘(“find . \\( -name ‘*.log’ -o -name ‘.svn’ -o -name ‘.git’ -o -name ‘CVS’ -o -name ‘TAGS’ -o -name ‘*~’ -o -name ‘*.class’ -o -name ‘*.[wj]ar’ -o -name target -o -name javadoc \\) -prune -o -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -H -n “. 225))

(global-set-key “\C-c2″ ‘grep-find)

This way, the output goes into a *grep* buffer which has lots of nifty commands for moving between hits.

Comment on mini elisp macro for calling find command in shell by emacs user

Emacs 23 will include a new package called 'find-cmd.el' that can be used to build find commands using lisp syntax. Here's the example from the source file's Commentary section:

 (find-cmd '(prune (name ".svn" ".git" ".CVS"))
           '(and (or (name "*.pl" "*.pm" "*.t")
                     (mtime "+1"))
                 (fstype "nfs" "ufs"))))
