If you like regex combinators, check out the elisp "rx" library. You can end up writing code sort of similar to the article's, with less emphasis on using english grammar: http://i.imgur.com/iD34MqC.png http://i.imgur.com/iD34MqC.png Combinators are very convenient and precise, but the tradeoff is that the code is longer. And I have to look up what to write every time I want to write one. But that's a personal bias. Thanks for the reference. I'll study it. EDIT: One of the good ideas in SRL is "if not followed by". There are too many [not]ahead-[not]behind combinations to warrant special syntax for each of them. I wonder if it could be streamlined, though?
