I want to convert the timestamps in a .zsh_history file to their readable equivalents.

Is there some search and replace I can do in emacs that will replace the time with something like (format-time-string unixtime)?

    C-h a replace-regexp , select the function, and look at its help string.

    The solution will end up looking something like:

    M-x replace-regexp  : \([0-9]+\):\(.*\)  \,(+ 1 \#1):\2

    But with (format-time-string) instead of my (+1 1 \#1); I don’t know time formatting functions in emacs elisp off the top of my head, sorry.

    (Or use query-replace-regexp if you want interactivity.)
