72 "Interpret the regi frame FRAME.
73 If optional START and END are supplied, they indicate the region of
74 interest, and the buffer is narrowed to the beginning of the line
75 containing START, and beginning of the line after the line containing
76 END. Otherwise, point and mark are not set and processing continues
77 until your FUNC returns the `abort' symbol (see below). Beware! Not
78 supplying a START or END could put you in an infinite loop.
80 A regi frame is a list of entries of the form:
82 (PRED FUNC [NEGATE-P [CASE-FOLD-SEARCH]])
84 PRED is a predicate against which each line in the region is tested,
85 and if a match occurs, FUNC is `eval'd. Point is then moved to the
86 beginning of the next line, the frame is reset and checking continues.
87 If a match doesn't occur, the next entry is checked against the
88 current line until all entries in the frame are checked. At this
89 point, if no match occurred, the frame is reset and point is moved to
90 the next line. Checking continues until every line in the region is
91 checked. Optional NEGATE-P inverts the result of PRED before FUNC is
92 called and `case-fold-search' is bound to the optional value of
93 CASE-FOLD-SEARCH for the PRED check.
95 PRED can be a string, variable, function or one of the following
96 symbols: t, nil, `begin', `end', and `every'. If PRED is a string, or
97 a variable or list that evaluates to a string, it is interpreted as a
98 regular expression and is matched against the current line (from the
99 beginning) using `looking-at'. If PRED does not evaluate to a string,
100 it is interpreted as a binary value (nil or non-nil).
102 PRED can also be one of the following symbols:
104 t -- always produces a true outcome
105 `begin' -- always executes before anything else
106 `end' -- always executes after everything else
107 `every' -- execute after frame is matched on a line
109 Note that NEGATE-P and CASE-FOLD-SEARCH are meaningless if PRED is one
110 of these special symbols. Only the first occurrence of each symbol in
111 a frame entry is used, the rest are ignored.
113 Your FUNC can return values which control regi processing. If a list
114 is returned from your function, it can contain any combination of the
117 the symbol `continue'
118 Tells regi to continue processing frame-entries after a match,
119 instead of resetting to the first entry and advancing to the next
120 line, as is the default behavior. When returning this symbol,
121 you must take care not to enter an infinite loop.
124 Tells regi to terminate processing this frame. any end
125 frame-entry is still processed.
127 the list `(frame . NEWFRAME)'
128 Tells regi to use NEWFRAME as its current frame. In other words,
129 your FUNC can modify the executing regi frame on the fly.
131 the list `(step . STEP)'
132 Tells regi to move STEP number of lines forward during normal
133 processing. By default, regi moves forward 1 line. STEP can be
134 negative, but be careful of infinite loops.
136 You should usually take care to explicitly return nil from your
137 function if no action is to take place. Your FUNC will always be
138 `eval'ed. The following variables will be temporarily bound to some
142 the current line in the buffer, as a string
145 the full, current frame being executed
148 the current frame entry being executed."
