Search the docs for 'rectangle' Specifically C-x r t runs the command string-rectangle which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `rect'. (string-rectangle START END STRING) Replace rectangle contents with STRING on each line. The length of STRING need not be the same as the rectangle width. Chad wrote:
Hi, I'm using emacs to edit a latex file to create a table with many rows, say 20. I need to insert & to separate the columns, so I need a column of 20 ampersands. What is the quickest way to do this? I'd like to highlight a region (column) and then tell emacs to insert the ampersand into that region, but I can't figure out how to do this. Thanks for your help!
