Subject: Re: Irritation about re-search-backward
Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 11:23:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <yga1se03x74.fsf@akutech.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: mailman.418.1527195625.1292.help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org

* Marco Wahl <marcowahlsoft@gmail.com>
| BTW to get the "greedy" match backwards I use now a further element in
| the search pattern like (re-search-backward "^a*").

Note that this matches each and every line, even those not starting with 'a'.
