Bug#549687: Newer zile versions lack 'replace-string'

2009-10-05 Thread Tim
Package: zile
Version: 2.3.6-2
Severity: normal


Hello,

In recent versions of zile, I noticed the 'replace-string' function
seems to have disappeared.  Would it be possible to get that added
back in?  I tend to use it quite a bit.

Thanks!

I could certainly do that, but what's the use case that
query-replace-string doesn't cover?

You mean 'query-replace'?  Yeah, I guess looking at it closer it does
provide replace-all functionality with an extra step.  I guess it
isn't that big a deal then.  Just hadn't used it that way before.

thanks,
tim

Indeed, it often works out as one step less, as it allows you to check
that at least the first replacement is what you expected before
letting rip.
