Subject: Scanning parenthesis in string/comment
Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2023 09:15:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <497B6D44-1C2D-4C45-9B6B-6719D49B4A69@gmail.com> (raw)
I’m writing an expand-region-like function, which expands region by logical entities, like word-at-point, list-at-point, etc. Say I have this string
"Filter out invalid regions in REGIONS regarding ORIG.
ORIG is the current position. Each region is (BEG . END).”
And point is at the opening parenthesis, how do I detect this balanced parenthesis pair and expand the region over it? syntax-pass and forward-list only works with lists outside of strings and comments, IIUC.
