Hi,
In Ediff there's a way to hide differences that match certain regular
expressions, e.g.
A: ^
B: ^\^[^^]*$
which will hide any difference where the region in B starts with a
caret, and does not contain any more carets. So far so good.
I'd like to do something like the following:
A: ^\(.*\)
B: ^\^\1$
where whatever is matched in A should occur in on the indicated
position. (Strictly speaking, the regexp syntax I used is wrong
because \1 in B cannot refer to whatever was matched in A, but I hope
it conveys the idea.)
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Frederik Fouvry
