Hi,
have the following code in buffer starting and ending with a pipe-char:
-------
|
;;; Wri |
-------
When running the command below, expect it stops at pos 2, after pipe.
Instead it travels from "Wri" only the two lesser chars backward.
Any explanation?
Thanks,
Andreas

(defun skiptest ()
(interactive)
(goto-char (point-min))
(search-forward "Wri")
(skip-chars-backward "^‘“{<[(|\"'#$/=?!:*+~§%&-_;"))

This will stop at any char between & and _ i.e. between codes 38 and 95,
which includes all the uppercase letters A-Z (along with a few more).
