No. There is no escaping whatsoever, nor is there a delimiter. The 4 before the H is a character count. And H stands for "Hollerith code", the punch card predecessor of "ASCII code".
Another advantage of 4H^.*\n is that you can join the 4H club. However, it won't fit in Emacs Lisp, because it can't be parsed backwards. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
