[TxMt] Re: regex in a snippet

2009/3/17 Saul Rosenbaum saul@visualchutzpah.com:

Alas I wish there where more basic explanation in the docs I can't for the life of me figure it out..

I can't remember where I got this, but it should do the trick. Been using it for ages.

<h2 id="${1/[[:alpha:]]+|( )/(?1:_:\L$0)/g}">${1:$TM_SELECTED_TEXT}</h2>

* * *

This snippet uses a placeholder:

${1:placeholder-text}

This snippet mirrors what you type in another place:

${1:Hello} #1 gets mirrored here: $1 ${2:Type something else here} and #2 gets mirrored here: $2

This snippet replaces spaces with underscores:

${1:Text with spaces} Mirrored with transformations: ${1/( )/_/g}

Hope this helps clear things up.
