$line-template(5)

NAME

$line-template - Command line regular expression search string

SYNOPSIS

$line-template "string"; Default is ""

DESCRIPTION

$line-template defines a regular expression search string used to identify a line number in the grep(3) and compile(3) buffers. The format of the string is the same as magic mode search strings (see search-forward(2)).

EXAMPLE

The line number may be considered to contain any numeric number, thus $line-template is defined as:

set-variable $line-template "[0-9]+" 

This correctly identifies "45" in the following *grep* output example:

foo.c: 45:      printf("hello world\n") ; 

SEE ALSO

$file-template(5), compile(3), get-next-line(2), grep(3), search-forward(2).
