That's because there is a single a inside \( \)!
Try: \(a+\) -> \1b

Re: Replace regexp question

[Leandro Marcolino]

Thank you very much for all the replies!.. :) But, maybe my example was too
simplistic.... hehe

I want to file occurrences of "<span lang=ZH-CN
>&#31169;&#31169;&#31169;</span><span lang=PT-BR", but the number of
&#31169; can be one or more, and replae by "<span lang=ZH-CN
style='letter-spacing:-5px'>&#31169;&#31169;&#31169;</span><span
lang=PT-BR".

If I try: "<span lang=ZH-CN >\(&#31169;+\)</span><span lang=PT-BR -> <span
lang=ZH-CN style='letter-spacing:-5px'>\1</span><span lang=PT-BR" then no
pattern is found
If I try: "<span lang=ZH-CN >\(&#31169;\)+</span><span lang=PT-BR -> <span
lang=ZH-CN style='letter-spacing:-5px'>\1</span><span lang=PT-BR" then the
sequence of &#31169; changes to a single &#31169;.

Is there a way to solve this problem?...

Thank you very much!..

Thanks,
Leandro

Re: Replace regexp question

[Leandro Marcolino]

Just to be clear, when I say replace by: "<span lang=ZH-CN
style='letter-spacing:-5px'>&#31169;&#31169;&#31169;</span><span
lang=PT-BR", I mean that the number of &#31169; must be the same as in the
original text.

Thanks!..

Re: Replace regexp question

[Leandro Marcolino]

Oh, I think I got it. I nested the groups like: "<span lang=ZH-CN
>\(\(&#31169;\)+\)</span><span lang=PT-BR -> <span lang=ZH-CN
style='letter-spacing:-5px'>\1</span><span lang=PT-BR". That works!.. :)

Thanks!..

Replace regexp question

[Leandro Marcolino]

Hello, all!..

I am trying to add text after multiple occurrences of a group, but it is not
working. For example, if I try to change the following: "aaaaaa" to
"aaaaaab", I end up with "ab"...

I am looking for the regexp: \(a\)+ and I replace by \1b. But then the
sequence of a's is reduced to a single "a". How can I make the final text
have the same number of occurrences of the group as the original text?..

Thank you very much for your help!..

Regards,
Leandro

Call `indent-according-to-mode' on those lines after the insertion.

replace regexp question

[Seweryn Kokot]

Hello,

Assume in a latex file I have a lot of occurences like these:
\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \centering
  \includegraphics{filename}
  \caption{Text}
  \label{fig:label}
\end{figure}
and
\begin{table}[htbp]
  \centering
  \caption{Text}
  \label{tab:label}
  \captab{tab:label}{text}{}
  \begin{tabular}{ccc}
  ...
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}

I want to change all occurences \caption and \label to get something
like these:
\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \centering
  \includegraphics{filename}
  \capfig{fig:label}{Text}{}
\end{figure}
and 
\begin{table}[htbp]
  \centering
  \captab{tab:label}{text}{}
  \begin{tabular}{ccc}
  ...
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}

So I wrote a function if .emacs

(defun my-caption-to-capfig ()
  "bar"
  (interactive)
  (while (re-search-forward 
          "\\\\caption\{\\(.*\\)\}\s*\n\s*\\\\label\{\\(.*\\)\}\s*\n\s*\\\\end\{figure\}" nil t)
	 (replace-match 
	  "\\\\capfig{\\2}{\\1}{}\n\\\\end{figure}")))
(defun my-caption-to-captab ()
  "foo"
  (interactive)
  (while (re-search-forward 
          "\\\\caption\{\\(.*\\)\}\s*\n\s*\\\\label\{\\(.*\\)\}\s*\n\s*\\\\begin\{tabular\}" nil t)
	 (replace-match "\\\\captab{\\2}{\\1}{}\n\\\\begin{tabular}")))

but sometimes \end{figure} and \begin{tabular} are indented and then after replacing I get it
without indent. How to take it into account in (replace-match "...") function?

regards,
Seweryn Kokot
