Subject: Apply replacement on word occurring at point using a lisp function
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2022 19:48:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fWc23eVrpYY9bu_sWs2GFOdmbpdYBopRL91g6-DPAAk5vdK9x3nzWdf6K4D_jJEJRYk6-4DTCXMG8dTQx8u2En86ioddag4y7QAvia9E_DA=@proton.me> (raw)
I want to insert the letter `k' for words with initial `cog', `col', `com', `con', `cor', `coun', `cum'."
For this I have written
(replace-regexp "\\<\\(co[glmnr]\\|coun\\|cum\\)" "k")
What I want to do is apply the replacement on the word occurring at point using a lisp function. How can this be achieved?
