The function below takes in a region and surrounds each line with input
strings -
(defun k-quotes (beg end st en)
(interactive "r*\nsStart Pattern: \nsEnd Pattern: \n")
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(narrow-to-region beg end)
(goto-char beg)
(replace-regexp "\\(.*\\)" (concat st "\\1" en))
)))
I'd like this function to be able to restrict to a rectangle instead of a
region. While on the first line it restricts "^" to match whereever I
started the mark from - on the rest of the lines, its the beginning of the
line.
Regards,
Kashyap
