Hi
I have a file that contains a list as:
1.1 Funciones de una variable
1.1.1. Catálogo de funciones. Translaciones y dilataciones
1.1.2. Derivación
1.1.2.1. Optimización. Tasa de cambio
1.1.2.2. Aproximación de funciones
1.1.2.3.1. Interpolación vs. ajuste
1.1.2.3.2. Polinomio de Taylor
1.1.2.3. Ceros de funciones (método de Newton-Raphson)
1.1.3. Integración
1.1.3.1. Integral definida. Aplicaciones
1.1.3.2. Integral impropia
1.1.3.2.1. De 1.ª especie
1.1.3.2.2. De 2ª especie
Etc, that is a non org list but I would like to convert
it to the corresponding headings
** Funciones de una variable
*** Catálogo de funciones. Translaciones y dilataciones
Etc, any idea how to do this in a quick way?
Regards
Uwe Brauer

The method that I show below is quick but not robust. You'll need to review
all the replacements.
- Do query-replace-regexp [default binding: C-M-%]
- Search for [0-9]+\.
- Replace with *
Running that on your example gives:
=====
*1 Funciones de una variable
*** Catálogo de funciones. Translaciones y dilataciones
*** Derivación
**** Optimización. Tasa de cambio
**** Aproximación de funciones
***** Interpolación vs. ajuste
***** Polinomio de Taylor
**** Ceros de funciones (método de Newton-Raphson)
*** Integración
**** Integral definida. Aplicaciones
**** Integral impropia
***** De *ª especie
***** De 2ª especie
=====
You'll need to manually fix up the " *1 Funciones de una variable" and "
***** De *ª especie" lines.

No period after "1.1" above - makes things slightly more difficult.

This might be a bit overzealous if there are more numbers with a period
after them. Another way would be to add ^\(\**\) at the beginning of
the regex (and a \1 in the replacement) and go through the file as many
times as there are nesting levels.
You could also try Elisp as the replacement - see
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Regexp-Replace.html,
https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/evaluating-lisp-forms-regular-expressions
and
http://mbork.pl/2013-09-18_Selective_replacement_in_LaTeX_documents_(en) .
You could probably use keyboard macros, too - see e.g.
http://mbork.pl/2021-02-20_Using_keyboard_macros_to_emulate_query_replace .
Hth,

Right, I repaired those manually before running queery resplace

Ah ok, but right now Kaushal's proposed solution is good enough for me

I thought about this, but usually I end up faster using a function (or
query replace) there was a time a liked keyboards macros, but now I find
them a bit dangerous.

Thanks, I tried [0-9]* and that failed.
Yours worked but I had first to fix some missing space and .
thanks
