So, you're pretty close: you've got a regex which captures your filename (and, incorrectly, the trailing colon) into subexp 1, and the line number in subexp 2. You want to add an element to compilation-error-regexp-alist that includes your regex, the capture index of the filename, and the capture index of the line number, in that order: ( "^\\(.*\\.nrx\\):[ \\t]*\\([0-9]+\\)" 1 2) --- note the colon moved outside the capture parens Then you want to add the little list above to the place where compile-mode will find it, compilation-error-regexp-alist. You do that with a function called add-to-list Try this: (add-to-list 'compilation-error-regexp-alist '("^\\(.*\\.nrx\\):[ \\t]*\\([0-9]+\\)" 1 2)) Make sense? -- Mike Slass
