The Elisp Manual still has the following sentence: Note that char classes are not currently supported in CHARACTER-SET; they will be treated as literals. Thus you cannot use `"[:alpha:]"' instead of `"a-zA-Z"' to include non-ASCII letters. A way to skip forward over all letters is: (re-search-forward "\\=[[:alpha:]]*" nil t) This seems to be obsolete now. Harald
