This is a rookie's question. I am trying to a simple text regular expression replacement. The text goes as follows (white spaces may change: tcl_cmd bla > kuku I want to change it to: tcl_cmd bla > kuku.rev1 When trying to use replace-regexp \(>[ ]+[^ ]+\) to \1.rev1 I get: tcl_cmd bla > kuku .rev1 This is quiet different than using the \W+ with perl... I think that emacs matches within [^ ]+ \n too. Trying to use [^ \n]+ did not solve the issue either. Any thoughts? -Lior -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-does-one-avoid-matching-%5Cn-when-matching-all-but-whitespace--tf4041646.html#a11481693 Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
