Subject: Does replace-match needs a literal TO-STRING?
Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2014 23:20:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87iokwxzhl.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi List,
I try to use
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(when (search-forward FROM-STRING nil t)
(replace-match TO-STRING nil t))
#+END_SRC
in a temp-buffer, and it works when TO-STRING is literal like "foo", but
not when its a function that builds and then returns the string "foo".
Is that a known restriction or am I doing something wrong?

cheers,
Thorsten
