Look at replace-match-data in replace.el...

No objection here. No idea whether match-size would be more appropriate. The C code is not really helpful deciding about that since it uses search_regs.num_regs and that is not suggestive of any sensible Lisp name. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
