Is this really possible? When I first read your post, I just said to
myself "oh, yeah, that's right; that should take care of it" but later on I
actually tried to implement a query-exchange function using only one
query-replace-regexp, and couldn't figure out how to do it. I see from (a
private email?) that Dan posted to the list that you suggested to him a
regexp that would take care of his particular string of text, but I'm now
more curious about the general problem. Can anyone here implement an
exchange in a single RE replace? More an academic challenge than an emacs
bug (or even feature request) since what Dan was asking for can be done
in a lisp function anyway.
Cheers,
