Subject: regex support
Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2005 14:29:56 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050428212956.16723.qmail@web51902.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
Does emacs support the regex syntax {4} or any of it's
variants? I'd like to match a date a la 2005-04-19,
so I'm trying (for the year part) something like
"[0-9]{4}", but unless I'm doing something wrong it
doesn't seem to be working. Assuming it doesn't
support that, is there a better way to match an string
of digits of length 4 than "[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]"?
