Okay, here are two examples: (with-temp-buffer (insert " ;") (backward-char) (looking-at "\\(\\(^\\|[^\\\\\n]\\)\\(\\\\\\\\\\)*\\);+ *")) (with-temp-buffer (insert " ;;") (backward-char 2) (looking-at "\\(\\(^\\|[^\\\\\n]\\)\\(\\\\\\\\\\)*\\);+ *")) Shouldn't both examples return the same value? It looks like a bug to me that the first example returns nil and the second t. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
