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. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
