Message-ID: <20051102023946.GB1791@johnsons-web.com> (raw)

Hi:
I'd like to find the nearest previous whitespace *or*
beginning of line;
(re-search-backward "^") ;; gets me to the beginning of
;; the line
(re-search-backward "[\t ]") ;; seems to find the nearest
;; previous whitespace
;; but can't seem to combine them properly
(re-search-backward "^\|[\t ]") ;; gives me an error
What am I leaving out.
TIA
tim
