Hi Everyone,
I'd like to take the following data and query-replace occurences of
each word identifier with the corresponding numeric identifier using
some sort of repeatable function.
-1 ACT/CNS
-2 AG NFC
-3 AID
-4 BBG
-5 BIA
-6 BLM
-7 BOC
-8 BPD
-9 CCC
-10 CDC
-11 Census
In other words, with point at
-1 ACT/CNS
^
I'd like to be able to hit a key and launch into the following command
query-replace RET ACT/CNS RET -1 RET
I tried defining a keyboard macro but there seems to be enough jumping
between buffers and M-x calls to confuse the kbmacro and make it
unusable.
Thoughts?
