[cl-ppcre-devel] Replacing all matches for a given register

[Daniel Gackle]

Thanks. My mistake was thinking there were two options - replacement string
and simple calls - when in fact there are three, the third being the
function call I'm looking for.

Not much simpler, I think.  I'd use REGEX-REPLACE with a replacement
function in your case.  Note that (if you don't use the "simple calls"
option) your function will be called with all the information you'll
need.  Have you tried that?
