Subject: regexp question: match anything but not a group?
Date: Tue, 01 Apr 2014 23:30:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zjk4louc.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi List,
how can I write a regexp that acts like e.g.
,------
| ".*?"
`------
but does not match a group like e.g.
,---------------------
| (regexp-quote "\\)")
`---------------------
?
This works more or less but does not seem to be very robust
,---------
| "[^)]*?"
`---------
since ')' could appear in other contexts than the group. How can I
negate a specific group of characters and not only any occurence of
single characters?
--
cheers,
Thorsten
