Subject: Regex replace for numbers
Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2014 01:33:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zjdexa89.fsf@robertthorpeconsulting.com> (raw)

I'm not very good with Emacs regex, I need to search-and-replace on some numbers.

How can I detect unnecessary zeros at the end of a number and chop them
off?  E.g. turn 567.45000 to 567.45 without also turning 6700 to 67.

BR,
Robert Thorpe
