Subject (folded): kbd-macro works ok via "22.7 stepwide editing kbd
macro", but not via C-x e. Why?
(setq last-kbd-macro
"\C-a\C-f\C-f \C-xr \C-[\C-s^price: \C-m\C-[z\C-xu\C-xrj\C-y\C-xr
\C-sisbn-10: \C-m\C-[d\C-xu\C-xrj\C-y ")
Command: last-kbd-macro
Key: none
Macro:
C-a ;; move-beginning-of-line
2*C-f ;; forward-char
2*SPC ;; self-insert-command
C-x r SPC ;; point-to-register
ESC C-s ;; isearch-forward-regexp
^price: ;; self-insert-command * 7
2*SPC ;; self-insert-command
RET ;; newline
ESC z ;; zap-to-char
C-x u ;; advertised-undo
C-x r j ;; jump-to-register
C-y ;; yank
C-x r SPC ;; point-to-register
C-s ;; isearch-forward
isbn-10: ;; self-insert-command * 8
SPC ;; self-insert-command
RET ;; newline
ESC d ;; kill-word
C-x u ;; advertised-undo
C-x r j ;; jump-to-register
C-y ;; yank
SPC ;; self-insert-command
Here's the text I'm working on (for a given book (starts with a "[]",
by hand I place POINT somewhere on that first line), then the
kbd-macro is to grab the price and the isbn-10 and insert them on that
first line):
Like on the first book below, the first line should end up looking like this:
"[] $61.71 978-1593272203 buynowxxFeb11: The Linux Programming Interface: A
Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook [Hardcover]"
Works fine when I use the manual (ie info) section 22.7 "Stepwise
editing of a keyboard macro", but when I execute the entire macro, via C-x e,
it ends up searching for a LOWER CASE "p" in "price".
But when by hand I do C-M-s on "^price: ", it finds the expected one, "Price:
".
Any ideas?
Thanks!
David
