Hi,

I needed to replace lines matching the following pattern

"hello      123456123456"

with

"hello      123456 123456"

I used

M-x replace-regexp RET hello      ...... RET \&                      /
* NOTE: a white space follows the \&  */

To do this.

I was wondering how I would do this with the \d construct. That is how
would I do this along the lines of

M-x replace-regexp RET hello     \(......\)\1 RET hello      \1    /*
NOTE: a white space follows the \1    */


Thanks,

  -Nachiket.

There's no \d construct....
Can't you record a keyboard macro ? it might be easier!

I'm not sure, but I think you want this:

M-x replace-regexp
\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\)\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\) RET
    \1 \2 RET

There may be some way to avoid repeating the [0-9] but I couldn't figure
that out.

Never mind.  I just forgot the escape.  The best way (I think) is:

\([0-9]\{6\}\)\([0-9]\{6\}\) RET \1 \2 RET

Regular Expressions can't count.

  \([0-9]\{6\}\)\([0-9]\{6\}\)

I'm looking at outline mode.

I see outline-regexp is set to:
Its value is "[*\f]+"

Looking in emacs info, I see no reference to '\f'.  What is it?

Looking at a buffer in C-mode, I see:
Its value is "[^#\n^M]"

I don't recognize the '#', what does this mean?

Look it up in the Emacs Lisp manual (or do a full text search in the
Emacs manual).

     ?\f => 12                ; formfeed character, `C-l'

Nothing special.  It stands for itself.

It's an escape character indicating a 'formfeed'.

Sometimes a hash is just a hash. I'm not sure what the context is here,
but maybe it has something to do with recognising #include and #define
in c code.

HTH,
