I want to use hippie-expand for C function completion. I've but together a script which parses my header files and lists them one by one like so: foo1( prm1, prm2); goo2( prm1, prm2); in a file I call emacs_auto_comp. First I have updated hippie expand to only expand like below: (setq hippie-expand-try-functions-list '(try-expand-line-all-buffers)) (setq hippie-expand-only-buffers '("emacs_auto_comp")) This works good if I type f => foo1( prm1, prm2); from the beginning of a line. BUT if I want to expand from the middle of the row say I have already written: if( f and hit my I get 'No expansion found' from Emacs. I want it to work like this: - From current cursor position go backwards until you find either a beginning-of-line or a space ' ' character. - Use only what was found from the initial cursor position to whichever of the 2 cases stopped your back tracing when performing expansion. In the example above : 'f' was found, then space broke the back tracing - Use the token found (in the example 'f') and expand as if 'f' was found in the beginning of the line. => if( foo1( prm1, prm2); (I can live with the semicolon being added) I am not Elisp-clever enough to make this happen. Are you? Thanks a LOT /Sune
