Subject: How to re-search for ^"*Nanotechnology*"$
Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2007 05:32:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1188995542.671074.138780@r34g2000hsd.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hello,

how does one write the regular expression search (in elisp) to look
for
^"*Nanotechnology*"$

(The string is inclosed by *'s and these are the only characters on
the line.

My attempt
(re-search-forward "\*[a-zA-Z ]+\*")
fails.

Also, if you could (please) show me how to use the [:alpha:]
construct.

Thank you very much.
