Today, I stumbled on this interesting discussion here [1]:
--------------------
Imagine I've got the following in a text file opened under Emacs:
some 34
word 30
another 38
thing 59
to 39
say 10
here 47
and I want to turn into this, adding 1 to every number made of 2 digits:
some 35
word 31
another 39
thing 60
to 40
say 11
here 48
--------------------
I tried all the ELISP codes suggested there, and only found that the
following one is valid:
C-M-% \b[0-9][0-9]\b return \,(1+ \#&)
The other two can't do the trick:
First one:
(defun add-1-to-2-digits (b e)
"add 1 to every 2 digit number in the region"
(interactive "r")
(goto-char b)
(while (re-search-forward "\\b[0-9][0-9]\\b" e t)
(replace-match (number-to-string (+ 1 (string-to-int (match-string 0)))))))
Validating method:
`M-:' input-the-above-code-here, RET, `M-x add-1-to-2-digits'.
And the second:
(while (re-search-forward "\\<[0-9][0-9]\\>" nil t) (let ((x
(match-string 0))) (delete-backward-char 2) (insert (format "%d" (1+
(string-to-int x))))))
Validating method:
`M-:' input-the-above-code-here, RET

Any hints/comments/enhancements for these methods will be greatly appreciated?
