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?
