1. Mark a region
2. Replace string
M-x replace-string RET a RET x RET
3. Do
M-x list-command-histort RET
4. You will find something like this.
(replace-string "a" "x" nil
(if (and transient-mark-mode mark-active)
(region-beginning))
(if (and transient-mark-mode mark-active)
(region-end)))
This will probably provide some clue on what you are looking for.
