What I actually had in mind was using regular expressions to find a pattern, and then modify that found text. At the time I was looking to indent a section of text (quoted from a previous message), by "finding" each line and adding a fixed number of spaces before it. However there are probably a million and one things you could do with a regex find-and-replace if only you could include the text pattern you just found.
