In my LaTeX files, I have literally thousands of occurrences of the following construction:
$\displaystyle{...math goes here...}$
I would like to replace them
\mymath{...math goes here...}
Note that $ disappears, but curly braces remain --- if not for the final $, this will be the base find and replacement. If I knew any regular expression, I am sure that he will cope with it without problems. What does regular expression need to make this happen?
Thank you very much in advance.
Edit: There were some problems and questions, so let me clarify:
- Yes, it
$\displaystyle{ ... }$can appear several times on the same line. - No, nested
}$(for example $\displaystyle{...{more math}$...}$) cannot be. I suppose it's possible if you put it in \mboxor something like that, but I can't imagine why anyone ever did this inside a construct $\displaystlye{}$whose purpose is to display a math string with text. In any case, this is not what I have ever done or can do. - I tried using the perl clause, but until the shell objected, the files remained unaffected.
- sed, " " ( ". sed (" man sed " ), : , .tex, "
sed s/\$\\displaystyle({[^}]+})\$/\\mymath\1/g *.tex". . sed , ?
