Occur and Region Operations

Occur and Region Operations

[Artist]

I like to know, how I can achieve following.

I like to apply occur on a file. So it can select some matching lines
via regexp.
Now, how I can consider the 'selected lines' as region and apply some
operations on it, which will reflect in original file.

Thanks.

all.el

I've never used it but I remember that this might be what you need.
Or is it all-mode.el?  It's like the XEDIT command ALL.  (That's a
mainframe editor, perhaps, they don't mean the program that comes with
X11.)

No,
 That's not it.
All.el =>  Load all files beneath a named directory.

"all.el --- Edit all lines matching a given regexp." according to:

   http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/~stephen/emacs/ell.html

>From all.el:

    ;;; Comments:

    ;; Just like occur, except that changes in the *All* buffer is
    ;; propagated to the original buffer.
