Since I have switched from vi to EMACS, there is one thing that I missed
more than anything else.  The ability to perform an operation on all
the lines that met a particular criteria(specified by a regular expression).
For instance in vi, I could type in "/[A-Z][a-z]*/d" to delete all lines
that met the specified criteria or I could type in 
"/\([A-Za-z][A-Za-z]*(\).*\()\)/s//\1\2".  How would I do similar operations
in EMACS?
