Then again, you could use this built-in function in the loop: replace-regexp: Replace things after point matching REGEXP with TO-STRING. Preserve case in each match if case-replace and case-fold-search are non-nil and REGEXP has no uppercase letters. Third arg DELIMITED (prefix arg if interactive) non-nil means replace only matches surrounded by word boundaries. In TO-STRING, \& means insert what matched REGEXP, and \<n> means insert what matched <n>th \(...\) in REGEXP. /jr
