Subject: Why does this happen in regexp isearch?
Date: Sat, 3 Jul 2010 12:29:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTingi19V1RMA_1P84CK1meJDoizq4cmwJ9x-Yh3V@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I open cus-edit.el.gz in Emacs and do a regexp isearch for:
^ ;;
(Beginning of line, then two spaces, then two semicolons.)
For some reason that I don't understand, it seems to match "beginning
of line, any number of spaces OR tabs, then two semicolons". When I
search for:
^ \{2\};;
...it finds what I'm looking for. Why is this?
