It is not solved and it works well with (bounds-of-thing-at-point
'number) -- thanks
I had the database table `pages' and I have converted them into more
general hyperscope objects. There were and there still are some page
numbers referenced from other pages, so I had to make a function that
will lookup the page number and find the new hyperdocument number, and
replace one with each other.
With standard thingatpt.el this did work, but I have used 'word and
manually taken care that I am on the right "word" which was 123.
(defun rcd-change-number-at-point (new-number)
(let* ((bounds (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'word))
(number (buffer-substring (car bounds) (cdr bounds)))
(point (point)))
(goto-char (car bounds))
(delete-char (length number))
(insert (number-to-string new-number))
(goto-char point)))
and now instead of `'word' I can put `'number', as the library
`thingatpt+.el' is upgrading or extending the built-in one.
