Subject: replace-regexp
Date: Fri, 07 May 2021 01:06:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87tunf1mz5.fsf@zoho.eu> (raw)
I was using `replace-regexp' and it worked fine but then
I byte-compiled and it told me something that was in the help
as well, namely
This function is for interactive use only; in Lisp code use
`re-search-forward' and `replace-match' instead.
so I wrote this and it does the job but reports the error
"while: Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)"
(defun md-latex (beg end)
(interactive "r")
(save-excursion
(goto-char beg)
(while (re-search-forward "_\\(.*\\)_" end t)
(replace-match "\\\\textit{\\1}") )))
Also this "interactive use only", in general, what's the deal
with that?
If it is just a matter of re-writing it the way I did (only
without the error) I don't see why that cannot be dealt with
so the user can just call the/a function with a simple
interface, be it interactively or in Lisp...
