However, they can be prone to errors, so what I end up doing is an isearch-forward-regexp until I get the expression correct. Once it is correct, I write it down and then type it back into a replace-regexp command! Rather cumbersome....Is there some sort of isearch-forwared-replace-regexp command ? Or can I recall the previous regexp searched for in my isearch-forward-regexp? TIA Birju
