I forgot to mention, the string above, "{", keeps changing with every
subsequent evaluation! I tried to extract the sub-expressions with
match-string with no luck. I get nil!
(let ((test "\\section{Heading{ignoreheading}}\nText\n"))
(string-match "\\(\\\\\\\\section{.+{ignoreheading}}\\\\n\\)\\(.+\\)" test)
(match-string 1 test)
)
nil
