Subject: About "/" in the regexp
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2013 08:27:26 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130213082726.b46491201c979c52a53c2bf5@gmail.com> (raw)
In (info "(elisp) Auto Major Mode"), there is an example of how to prepend several pattern pairs to `auto-mode-alist':
(setq auto-mode-alist
(append
;; File name (within directory) starts with a dot.
'(("/\\.[^/]*\\'" . fundamental-mode)
;; File name has no dot.
("/[^\\./]*\\'" . fundamental-mode)
...)
auto-mode-alist))
I'm confused about the first "/" in the two regular expressions. Why is there a slash character? Can anybody help? Thanks.
