If I use M-x replace-regexp followed by
"\(//\)[[:space:]] *" <RET> "\1 " <RET>
the behaviour is correct - replacing any space
between '//' ed comment text
Ex.
//___Text... => //_Text...
where '_' is a space
If I use the same
replace-regexp "\(//\)[[:space:]] *" "\1 "
in a function no replacing is done - Replaced 0 occurences -
(defun comment-formatting(start end)
(interactive "*r")
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(narrow-to-region start end)
(goto-char start)
(replace-regexp "\(//\)[[:space:]] *" "\1 "))))
So M-x comment-formatting has differnt behaviour. Why?
Thanks in advance,
Luca.
