I've been using TextMate for a while, but I haven't had the time to dig 
into its more powerful features.  I was able to create the command, but 
I don't quite understand the usage.

Here's an example use case: I have a document, and I want to write out a 
regex that matches on a certain pattern (Find: (<a) (class="([^"]*)") ) 
and add an id to each matching instance (Replace: $1 id="_\i(2,5)" $2 ), 
with changes applied inline into the current document.  With a command, 
how to I supply the pattern to match?  Is this possible?
