You can do this with `re-search-forward' and regular expressions that also have subexpressions, you then refer back to them in `replace-match'. E.g., eval the following (while (re-search-forward "_\\(.*\\)_" (point-max) t) (replace-match "\\\\textit{\\1}") ) To change - That ain't _true_! - I _know_ right? into - That ain't \textit{true}! - I \textit{know} right? > 4. Change the first `\\' to new line. If it just happens once, doing it manually is as fast or faster as any other way, either that or it should be. > 6. Change other `\\' to comma. After doing the first manually, `replace-regexp', this time no need for subexpressions tho. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
