Subject: isearch-forward-regexp across lines in various modes
Date: 29 Jul 2004 03:37:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <de14e8fd.0407290237.2db735c9@posting.google.com> (raw)
Hello all you emacs-Gurus,
the emacs Info file, chapter
"Regular Expression Search" states:
"If you type <SPC> in incremental
regexp search, it matches any
sequence of whitespace characters,
including newlines. If you want to
match just a space, type `C-q
<SPC>'."
I can see this behaviour when in
text-mode, but not in e.g. lisp-mode or
c-mode:
Take this text for example
sample text consisting of a line
and another line
... then isearch-forward-regexp will
search across the line when I enter
"line and" only when in text, mode not
when in lisp-mode (being the default for
the initial *scratch* buffer)
Any input greatly appreciated
