Refactoring?

Refactoring?

[Andreas Roehler]

Hi,

after finishing the following function I remarked, I
could reuse the inner parts easier, while addressing
them separate. (Just an example anyway...)

(defun alpha-numb-count (start end)
  "Counts alphabetical signs and numbers"
  (interactive "r*")
  (count-matches "[a-z-A-ZäöüÄÖÜß]" start end)
  (count-matches "[0-9]" start end))

Looking for a procedure, which would result in the following
(Numbers just for decoration here):

(1)
(defun alpha-numb-count_1 (start end)
  "Counts alphabetical signs and numbers"
  (interactive "r*")
  (count-matches "[a-z-A-ZäöüÄÖÜß]" start end))

(2)
(defun alpha-numb-count_2 (start end)
  "Counts alphabetical signs and numbers"
  (interactive "r*")
  (count-matches "[0-9]" start end))

Which later would be written:

(defun alpha-count (start end)
  "Counts alphabetical signs and numbers"
  (interactive "r*")
  (count-matches "[a-z-A-ZäöüÄÖÜß]" start end))

(defun numb-count (start end)
  "Counts alphabetical signs and numbers"
  (interactive "r*")
  (count-matches "[0-9]" start end))

Am I right, it's called refactoring otherwise?

Is there such a thing for Emacs-Lisp?


Thanks
