Good. I'm hoping to use it to learn RE. The book focuses on using Perl, vim, python and PHP. I would find it helpful if I could be pointed to documentation that outlines the unique RE features of emacs (or Xemacs). That way I could do the exercises in emacs also. I think that would be very helpful in learning RE for emacs. Is such documentation available? Any suggestions? TIA tim
