Hi
I would like to know how one can interactively search for patterns that are not
captured by regexes, like palindromes.
One approach would be to use \, to embed a lisp function, like it's availabe in
regex-replace. Is it easy to modify existing functions (or make new ones using
the ones available) to do this?
Or maybe something like (check-for-pattern palindrome), where palindrome is a
function that takes a string and returns true if that string is palindrome. The
function check-for-pattern does the search interactively feeding new string in
the buffer to palindrome and highlighting them if they match. The problem I am
facing here is writing the check-for-pattern function using the existing search
functions.
Any other ways to do it ?
Thanks
Karan
