I have log file output like this:
Received device state message: pen state = 11 - uig state 10
where pen state and uig state are enums.
I want to do a search and replace where if for example pen state 11 enum is
diagnostics and uig state 10 enum is starting, then I want the line to be
updated to:
Received device state message: pen state = diagnostics - uig state starting
What is the easiest way to do this?
I can do search and replace using c-m-% and change for each permutation of
number to string but that would be fairly labour intensive if enums were fairly
long. Can I combine that with a lookup somehow? What is best way to do it?
