Subject: 26.1.92; skip-chars-backward
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2019 21:33:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <629a0154-58f5-287a-b88f-66225d2f8f08@easy-emacs.de> (raw)

Hi,

have the following code in buffer starting and ending with a pipe-char:

-------

|
      ;;;     Wri |

-------

When running the command below, expect it stops at pos 2, after pipe.

Instead it travels from "Wri" only the two lesser chars backward.

Any explanation?

Thanks,

Andreas

(defun skiptest ()
   (interactive)
   (goto-char (point-min))
   (search-forward "Wri")
   (skip-chars-backward "^‘“{<[(|\"'#$/=?!:*+~§%&-_;"))
