Re: Search occurrences of character at point

[Yassin Philip]

Well, you could use a rx regexp function like this:

(defun find-nonascii ()
  (interactive)
  (if (re-search-forward (rx nonascii))
      (message "There it is: (%s)"
               (buffer-substring-no-properties
                (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)))
    (message "doh!")))
