On 29 Jun 2024 05:51 -0500, from rowlett@access.net (Richard Owlett): >> Ignoring the question about Emacs > > Emacs *CAN NOT* be ignored. I did not say to ignore _Emacs_. I said that I was ignoring the _question_ about Emacs, to instead... >> and focusing on the goal (your ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >> question otherwise is an excellent example of a XY question), this is >> not something regular expressions are very good at. > > HUH ?????????? ..._focus on the goal_. (It is usually a good idea to read at least a whole sentence before responding to it.) The _goal_ in this case being your stated specific series of string replacements. If you want to use Emacs to do that, no one is stopping you from doing so. You can directly adapt what I suggested to an Emacs workflow. But just because a nailgun can be used to hang a painting doesn't mean that a nailgun is the _appropriate_ tool for that particular job; without detracting from its usability in _other_ applications. Sometimes really all you are looking for is a small hammer. -- Michael Kjörling 🔗 https://michael.kjorling.se “Remember when, on the Internet, nobody cared that you were a dog?”
