Hi all,

i want to suggest this simple patch:

 	  (not (eolp))			; empty line
-	  (let ((fn (dired-get-filename nil t)))
-	    (and fn (string-match regexp (file-name-nondirectory fn)))))
+	  (let ((fn (dired-get-filename t t)))
+	    (and fn (string-match regexp fn))))
      "matching file")))
 
 (defun dired-mark-files-containing-regexp (regexp &optional
marker-char)

With this patch i am able to mark entries in dired buffer even when these contain
directory parts. 

(Try `find-dired' in emacs.bzr/trunk/test and mark all
entries files in "automated/" entries.)
