    (defun forward-stud ()
     (interactive)
     (while (not (looking-at " \|[A-Z]")) (forward-char))
     (forward-char))
    why doesn't it stop at all characters following spaces and at upper case
    characters. I have never used the \| before so I suppose something is
    wrong with the regexp, but what?

Use two backslashes to insert a backslash in a Lisp string: \\|.
