Is there a more compact regexp for specifying whitespace including
newlines other than:
(re-search-forward (concat "\\(" "\\s-" "\\|" "\n" "\\)*"))
I always use concat() to increase readability of my code.

That depends on the syntax table, and the syntax table tends to depend on the major mode. When it makes sense in a particular major mode, it should tend to match. For example, it does so in message-mode for me. What does C-h s show in your favorite mode? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
