Searching the uncommented text

Searching the uncommented text

[Seung H. Choi]

Hi,

How do I search the text that are not commented? If there is such a
feature, it would really help in lots of cases.

M-x isearch-forward-regexp RET ^[^;]*text.* RET

That is, in lisp sources where the comments start with ';'.


For C++, you could do:

M-x isearch-forward-regexp RET ^\(/[^/]\|[^/]\)*text.* RET

Thanks, but is there a way to set a hot-key for this functionality?
For general search, ctrl+S will move the cursor to the next matching text.
If I can set up a hot key, then I would be able to search through the
code that are not comments.
