Thanks. I will look into this.
In the meantime, I have another question: is there a way to specify that a
certain pattern can appear multiple times and that I am interested in all
occurrences?
For example, I can have multiple appearances of "browser xyz" inside the
following block:
browser showOn: #xxx; from: #yyy; using: [
browser list ...
browser tree ...
browser text ]
If I try to match it like:
'`...@browser showOn: `...@target; from: `...@origin; using: [ `...@browser
`[email protected]]'
It seems to only get those appearances which contain a single appearance of
browser inside the block.
Cheers,
Doru
