<div dir="ltr"> <style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style> Is there a symbol in regexp-match syntax, similar to the period but... a representation for all the characters to one side of the pattern?For example, the period below represents the pattern and a single character to the right of the pattern 'x': (regexp-match #rx"x." "12x4x6") ; => '("x4") The ___ below represents the pattern and all the remaining characters in the string to the right of the pattern 'x': (regexp-match #rx"x___" "12x4x6") ; => '("x4x6") I realize I could place a period for each character I want matched but the number of characters will vary. I imagine there might be a better way than creating a function that counts the number of characters and then another function that creates a regexp-match expression and another function that runs that function. Thanks for the advice.Don Green </div>
