could anyone help me with a diff/patch question?
i got the following patch:
--- lisp\textmodes\css-mode.el.orig 2008-03-01 20:28:16.000000000
+0100
+++ lisp\textmodes\css-mode.el 2009-01-19 09:14:55.138125000 +0100
@@ -369,5 +369,5 @@
(forward-comment (- (point-max)))
;; FIXME: We should also skip punctuation.
- (not (memq (char-before) '(?\; ?\
{)))))))))))
+ (not (or (bobp) (memq (char-before) '(?\;
?\{))))))))))))
(defun css-forward-sexp (n)
how do i use diff (or other?) to merge it into source?
i've never used diff for patching.
i just found and used menu Tools‣Apply Patch, but then i got
patching file /Users/xah/web/emacs/css-mode.el
patch: **** malformed patch at line 8: ?\{))))))))))))
is it something i did wrong or the patch?
Thanks.
