I’m running into an issue when my search/replace is “recursive”, eg
(some-fun (some-fun "Fred" :remove) :remove)
=> (other (other "Fred")) ; what I want:track-position? false, I’m using subedit-> (doesn’t seem to differ with or w/o) and using z/next / (meta (z/node zloc)) to match position and navigate to the next spot. This works flawless until I encounter this situation. Seems finding the inner occurrence returns null for its zloc… but since I have track-position off, I’d think it would still work?

Hi @joel380, I need more info, I think. I don't yet see how position tracking zipper (vs non-position tracking zipper) or subediting come into play for your problem. To help me help you, please provide a complete minimal example (something I can run in my REPL) of what is working/not-working.

I’ll have to minimize the code to reproduce --- that might illicit the problem. But a little more info… With Grasp I get the positions of the first two open parends
(some-fun (some-fun "Fred" :remove) :remove)

So... I'm not sure how familiar you are with rewrite-clj and how it works. But... a position tracking zipper is only needed if you need to preserve/use the row offset and column offset of a node.
