Subject: Select/highlight and *copy* matches of some regex
Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2022 17:52:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <82a978f3-e974-4d8f-b87e-5707ffec0b5b@www.fastmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I've been looking for at least an hour for something that my Sublime-using colleagues seem to be able to do out of the box... Highlight all matches of some regex in the current buffer and then copy/kill *all* of those matches so that you can yank them in a new buffer.
The first part, highlighting all matches, is not a problem. But I haven't found a way yet to then extract all matches.
I've also looked for third-party packages, but haven't been able to find anything. I read a few times that `multiple-cursors` can kill all matches as a rectangle, so that you can use `yank-rectangle`, but I haven't been able to make that work.
So what am I overlooking here? I mean, there *must* be a way, right?
TIA,
Joost
