ok, with this elisp,

(defun my-working-code ()
  "Some really useful thing."
  (interactive)
  (while (and (not (eobp))
              (search-forward "[-" nil 'move))
    (skip-chars-forward "A-Z")
    (unless (looking-at "-]")
      (message "Problem found, please fix and hit C-M-c to continue")
      (recursive-edit)))) I can find for all I need to search.
I look for many char that I'm looking for.
I've added some char ( (skip-chars-forward "A-Z_\\(0-9\)"))

I would also look for ", but I can't find the char that indicate that. Wich one is it?


TIA

Renato

Just backquote the quote character inside the string like this:

(setq my-str "a string with \"quoted quotes\" and other chars")
(setq a-quote "\"") ; just a quote character

Probably just an escaped double-quote: \"

Also, your skip-chars-forward looks funny, you've double-backslashed the
opening parenthesis but single-backslashed the closing, while according to
the docstring of skip-chars-forward you probably need neither: A-Z0-9_\"
might be all you need. Try that and see.

Eric

nothing works...:-(
maybe I made some mistake.

Can someone add, in thist line of code

(skip-chars-forward "A-Z_\\(0-9\)")

the right char to skip the " (double quote) ?

TIA

Have you read my previous post?
Have you read Eric Abrahamsen's last post?

Have you tried (skip-chars-forward "A-Z_0-9\"") ?

Yes,
I have done all. 
MORE I've anderstund what I made wrong. :-(
the character intercepted, was not the ", but another one (it's difficult for me, why. But, trust me, it was another ;-) .

Now, I've understand the error... and all works great!

Thaks to all

Renato
