keyboard macro create function from list

[Patrick Drechsler <patrick@pdrechsler.de>]

Hi,

I often have a list of variable names and need to create similar code
from this list. Here is an example:

The List (imagine 6-10 myvar's):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
myvar_Asometext
myvar_B1foo
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Lets say the code layout should look like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
m_<listmember_n>.SetBounds(0, 0, m_<listmember_n>.Width, m_<listmember_n>.Height)
m_<listmember_n>.Show()
SplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(m_<listmember_n>)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The output should look like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
m_Asometext.SetBounds(0, 0, m_Asometext.Width, m_Asometext.Height)
m_Asometext.Show()
SplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(m_Asometext)

m_B1foo.SetBounds(0, 0, m_B1foo.Width, m_B1foo.Height)
m_B1foo.Show()
SplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(m_B1foo)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

At the moment I copy the list from another IDE into an Emacs scratch
buffer. Then I append one example layout to the scratch buffer. After
copying and marking the relevant region(s) I follow up by a multitude
of invocations of `M-x replace-string'. Although this is still faster
than working in the IDE I copy from, I feel that there is a better way
of using Emacs' abilities...

So, any ideas for accomplishing this more efficiently (using a current
Emacs version) are more than welcome ;-)

TIA

Patrick
