Subject: preserving indention levels?
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 22:33:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <00Jun29.135625edt.44226@hawkwind.utcs.utoronto.ca> (raw)
I've got a question on how to solve an editing problem.
When one has code that is indented at various levels,
and needs to be replaced with multiple-line blocks, how
does one handle preserving the indention?
For example:
...
System.err.println("some annoying debugging but in");
...
System.err.println("some other annoying debugging but in");
...
into
...
if (Debug.level(Debug.DEBUG))
{
Debug.debug(this, "some annoying debugging but in");
}
...
if (Debug.level(Debug.DEBUG))
{
Debug.debug(this, "some other annoying debugging but in");
}
...
Is using something like s/^([ ]+).../...\1\n\1/ the only solution?
Jim
