Subject: A variant of match-end, but after replacement?
Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2015 13:49:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mvysjrkb.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)
Hi all,
I perform search using string-match, and then do the replacement using
replace-match. Now I'd like to know the position of the end of my
replacement, so that I know where to start the next search (since I'm
coding a variant of replace-regexp-in-string). Is there anything like
that in Emacs, or should I just concatenate the parts before and after
the match with the match in-between instead of using replace-match, so
that I can calculate that position myself?
Note: I have good reasons not to use replace-regexp-in-string, since
I want to replace each match with something different, according to what
was matched inside one of the groups. AFAIK, replace-regexp-in-string
doesn't support such a use-case.
TIA,
--
