Hi Diego,
A few suggestions:
1. You can use `rx' to define regexps in a Lispy way, and the ELPA
package `xr' converts existing regexp strings to the rx format, which
can help in learning rx syntax. For example:
(xr "^bash-.*\\$" 'brief) ;;=> (seq bol "bash-" (0+ nonl) "$")
So you can use that regexp like:
(replace-regexp-in-string (rx bol "bash-" (0+ nonl) "$") ...)
This nasty one is much easier with rx:
(xr "\\(\\(.\\|\n\\)*?\\)\\$\\(.\\|\n\\)*\\'" 'brief)
;;=>
;; (seq (group (*? (group anything)))
;; "$" (0+ (group anything)) eos)
2. To avoid the nested calls, you can use a loop, like:
(cl-loop for (match replace) in
(list (list (rx foo bar) "replacement"))
do (setf string
(replace-regexp-in-string match replace
string)))
