Subject: Learning Emacs regexp (was: Re: Raw strings (experimental patches inside))
Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2012 16:24:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CD2846C2-C4FC-4B42-AF15-4860A029E7D8@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <50259359.3000201@lanl.gov>

You might also find M-x re-builder RET to be helpful.

For added fun, type `C-h m' inside the re-builder buffer, but play with the builder first.

There are a few tricks that you just have to learn, with `C-q C-j' among the biggest.  This is such an old artifact of `unix versus dos versus mac' that most hackers are inured at this point.  (How old?  It can accurately be described as a `Multics versus TOPS-10 versus BBC Micro' problem.)

Hope that helps.
*Chad
