Hello group,
in the scratch buffer I did
-----------------
(while (search-forward-regexp "^\\(.\\)" nil t)
(replace-match "\% \1"))
laa
moo
nii
-----------------
I expected
%
% laa
% moo
% nii
but isnstead I get
% ^A
% ^Aaa
% ^Aoo
% ^Aii
where ^A stands for the character "C-a".
What am I missing?
TIA,
Nikos
