Hi,
I some trouble with regular expression. I thought, the regexp "\(foo\|bar\)" should match either foo and bar. But if I have a buffer with "foo" in it, the regexp build does not match it with that :(.
Are you sure your regexp is what you think it is? If you are typing it into an elisp program, you need to write:
"\\(foo\\|bar\\)". If you've done C-M-s and are typing into the minibuffer, you don't double the quotes.
Thanks! Nathan
