Ok, I'll try:
The idea is to use the match-data informations to expand positional
parameters in any string, where replace-match only works on the one the
match occurs.
1. my-expand take a string as argument,
2. if there is no captured match then return the argument,
3. if the string does not contains positional parameters then return the
argument,
4. build a new sting from the argument by replacing all the positional
parameters by their captured value,
5. return the new string.
Is this what you asked ?
Regards.
