regex - how to replace more than one matched string in Emacs Regexp? -


in emacs regexp, i'm doing replace-regexp, searching this

<span class="small">\([^<]+\)</span>\([^<]+\)<span class="small">\([^<]+\)</span>

and trying replace this

<span class="small">\1\2</span>

i'm trying concatenate 2 matched strings. doing wrong?

without description of how doesn't work you, can guess intended replace \1\3 rather \1\2.

a second possibility text operating on doesn't match regex.

(switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "nst.html")) (insert "<span class=\"small\">foo</span>bar<span class=\"small\">baz</span>") (goto-char (point-min)) (replace-regexp   "<span class=\"small\">\\([^<]+\\)</span>\\([^<]+\\)<span class=\"small\">\\([^<]+\\)</span>"  "<span class=\"small\">\\1\\3</span>") 

try m-x undo in buffer see looked before replacement operation.

(i suppose losing text in \2 intention?)
