Re: Emacs: adding 1 to every number made of 2 digits inside a marked reg

This is a typical job for a macro. Move the cursor to the beginning of the first item of the list, then do:

C-x (
C-e
M-b
M-: (insert (format "%d" (1+ (number-at-point))))
C-k
C-a
C-n
C-x )

Then type C-x e e e ...

Seems complicated :-)


It isn't. When you type C-x ( you start defining a macro, you just do what you want to do on a single item (and it's WYSIWIG!), and you end your macro definition with C-x ). Then you repeat it on the other items.
