Subject: Finding C style comments using isearch-forward-regexp
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 15:40:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ubs18mlr3.fsf@superonline.com> (raw)
Hi,
I am struggling to find C style comments using the
isearch-forward-regexp function (C-M-s). Here is the regexp that I am
using:
/\*\(.\|^J\)*\*/
Basically, I am telling emacs to first find the opening comment "/*",
then any number of any character or newline and then the closing
comment "*/".
However, immediately after typing the * after the closing parenthesis,
emacs tells me:
[(error stack overflow in regexp matcher)]
I have found a simpler regexp that causes this error. This regexp is
part of the one specified above and finds any character or newline any
number of times:
\(.\|^J\)*
Even though this is not a trivial regexp, it is fairly basic and I
cannot come up with an alternate syntax to achieve the same
effect. Please help...
