Calling re-search-forward at string "foo1" like below, it matches at 
first char "o".

(re-search-forward "#?[xo]?[a-f0-9]+" nil t 1)foo1

Doesn't the regexp say a possible [xo] must be followed by at least one 
of "a-f0-9"? Where the second "o" is not a part...

Cheers,
Andreas

It matches "f" for me. Not sure how you decided it matches "o".
