Regular expression with re-search-forward...

Regular expression with re-search-forward...

[luca.spinacci]

Hi all,
I'm poorly skillled with regular expression and I'd like to use
re-search-forward so that I can read MY_TYPE
as follow:
#define MY_TYPE   value
                ^^^^^^^^^
and
} MY_TYPE;
   ^^^^^^^^^
Thank you very much,
L.Spinacci

I'm probably missing something important here but can't you just put
MY_TYPE literally into re-search-forward?

I would type: ESC C-s MY_TYPE RET. Or do you think of ESC C-s [A-Z]+_ 
[A-Z]+[ ;] RET?

You don't explain enough what you intend to find ...
