I've been trying to do some simple searches like:
(query-replace-regexp "<span[:ascii:]*?</span>+" "test")
or even the simpler
(query-replace-regexp "[:ascii:]*" "test")
and not getting anywhere. Emacs just looks for the characters ":acis" --
not for the POSIX character set of all ASCII characters. Trying it with
other sets also got me nowhere. These character classes are listed in the
Emacs documentation -- is there a trick to getting them to work?
Thanks,
Mark
