Subject: insert gives args out of range
Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2024 09:24:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <LtUzWX6BTOKD69crJN40wJ2aV0wjgloiMzR2l4bWWOuoCojlUuieoT2hQwtKzFWBI8SiFUJcq_z-VVE79OW4C9GR9XimDokanY1ZQSpjO2A=@protonmail.com> (raw)
I want to display text starting from "(defun" up to the second blank line that is encountered.
But with this code I get
insert: Args out of range: #<buffer *Defun Sections*>, 2706, 2804
(defun display-text ()
"Display the text between a line starting with '(defun' and the second blank line."
(interactive)
(let ((output-buffer (get-buffer-create "*Defun Sections*")))
(with-current-buffer output-buffer
(erase-buffer)) ;; Clear previous contents
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "^(defun" nil t)
(let ((start (match-beginning 0))
(blank-lines 0)
end)
;; Move forward to find the second blank line
(while (and (< blank-lines 2)
(re-search-forward "^\\s-*$" nil t))
(setq blank-lines (1+ blank-lines)))
(setq end (point))
;; Ensure the range is valid before inserting
(when (> end start)
(with-current-buffer output-buffer
(insert (buffer-substring-no-properties start end) "\n"))))))
;; Display the output buffer
(display-buffer output-buffer)))
