Yes, I've misread the filename (seen only a colon); this is the first case I mentioned, when the filename includes the ":[0-9]+:" pattern. > For example, for the grep output line: > > 1:2:3:4:text > > there are three different interpretations: > > file name `1:2:3', line number `4', source line `text' > file name `1:2', line number `3', source line `4:text' > file name `1', line number `2', source line `3:4:text' But, using the non greedy '+?' quantifier, the interpretation will always be of the last type. > One way to resolve them is to match markup escape sequences that new > GNU grep puts around file names and line numbers.

I'm aware of them, are you waiting for the 2.5.2 release to add the corresponding element to grep-regexp-alist? -- Emanuele Giaquinta _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
