Subject: Shortening words in region
Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2022 16:31:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Vhmgd7QBVmfse5ui--dfC3xzpsyzgMrjCnRF6vp_4IKvXDX4C0HQ07iCGly9i8Ys1NVXdwi9e1El29HOimUBxSXJISG-W4FMYx0LnRYJPig=@proton.me> (raw)
Have been working on shortening words. But doing so on a word by word basis is quite slow. Thusly I am writing
a version that accepts a selected region.
This function uses a selected region, then changes initial parts oy words (replacing matching cog, col, com, con, cor, coun, and cum
with the letter "k".
What improvements can I do to it?
(defun shorten-region (beg end)
"TODO"
(interactive "r")
(narrow-to-region beg end)
(goto-char (point-min))
(insert (replace-regexp "\\<\\(co[glmnr]\\|coun\\|cum\\)" "k" nil beg end)) )
