string to string matching

string to string matching

[Zhu, Shenli]

Hello experts,

Emacs use syntax table to implement char to char matching, e.g. "(" and 
")" parenthesis matching.
But how to do string to string matching, e.g. "BEGIN" and "END" matching?

Thank you,
  -Z

Hi,

tried some realisations of the matter.

One identifies begin and end of sh-script forms.

Its here:

A more generic tool identifying any THING by its beginnings and ends is here:

You may watch realisation of the latter by calling

ar-blok-atpt

from

https://code.launchpad.net/~a-roehler/s-x-emacs-werkstatt/thing-at-point-utils.el

where `blok' is freely customizable setting begin- and end-strings.
