Hello:
I've constructed a regexp to use with imenu.
(note: this mailer is probably going to wrap it)
"set[ ]+'[A-Za-z0-9*-_.]+[
]\\(d\\(?:ef\\|oes\\)\\|func\\(?:tion\\)?\\|has\\|lfunc\\|sub\\)\\>"

My goal is to capture from the following example
set 'printf function
     printf
but the regex is really picking up 
  function

I'd appreciate any help on correcting this.
Thanks
tim
