Subject: execute function in replace-regexp
Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2017 05:22:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <864lrjwo0b.fsf@zoho.com> (raw)

How can I execute a Lisp function, namely
`downcase', on the match from `replace-regexp'?

I Googled it and found [1] the syntax

    \, (downcase \1)

but doesn't get executed, just replaced as is.
