Subject: bug#7567: Please add a history variable to read-regexp
Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2010 20:09:55 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <FB260865EBEA4F33B2EE3801EC7A974F@us.oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <AANLkTimob=uY3FbefHNG7po3Dv2E7OgzXm=7eeFo4r_m@mail.gmail.com>
In answer to a question from Lennart off list I realize that I misunderstood his
request. In spite of the Subject line, which I think I skipped over, I
mistakenly thought he was just requesting that `read-regexp' use a _different_
history variable (e.g. `read-regexp-history') in its call to
`read-from-minibuffer'.
I didn't realize that he was really requesting that `read-regexp' accept an
additional, optional HISTORY arg, which would be passed to
`read-from-minibuffer' (nil HISTORY would mean to pass `regexp-history', as
now).
Now that I understand, I agree with Lennart. There is no reason not to let
`read-regexp' be even more general by parameterizing it with a HISTORY
parameter.
Sorry for misunderstanding. In case others also misunderstood, this is the
idea:
(defun read-regexp (prompt &optional default-value history)
"...
Non-nil HISTORY is a symbol to use as the history variable.
If HISTORY is nil, `regexp-history' is used."
...)
