Subject: search-forward in emacs23 lisp
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 15:31:48 -0500 (CDT)
Sorry to reply to my own post, but the following rather ugly solution
solves the problem of finding a single FF byte:
(while (/= (char-after) ?\377)
(forward-char 1)
)
(forward-char 1)
This replaces
(search-forward (unibyte-string ?\377))
which, in emacs23, no matter what I do, insists on turning the byte
into the two-byte string \231\277 before searching.
But surely there's a better way?
