[slime-devel] match-string-no-properties missing?
Hi, I recently updated to the latest slime from CVS, and now every time I do a M-. I get an emacs message that says "Symbol's function definition is void: match-string-no-properties." My emacs is XEmacs 21.4 (patch 15) (x86_64-redhat-linux, Mule). All help appreciated! Thanks, Alberto Riva University of Florida

using "GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0) of 2006-08-13" i have the match-string-no-properties function. is this then an emacs only function? -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

XEmacs doesn't have that function, I solved it for the time being by adding the following snippet (or (fboundp 'match-string-no-properties) (defun match-string-no-properties (number) "Return string of text matched by last search." (buffer-substring-no-properties (match-beginning number) (match-end number)))) I found somewhere on the web. It works for me. I haven't dug any further to find out if it is actually a suitable replacement or whether there are more errors waiting to happen.

Yes, that seems to be the case. What I can't understand is why I never noticed this problem in XEmacs (I never use emacs) until I did a cvs update last week, and how can it still work on my laptop, where I have the same version of XEmacs and an older version of slime.el (that has the same call to match-string-no-properties). Anyway, thanks for the suggestion below.

XEmacs has this function in xml.el, from the net-utils package. It is actually defined as an alias on match-string. I'm not sure why it's there... maybe a better place would be directly in replace.el (or in fsf-compat, but do we really want to have to load that ?). -- Looking for a Christmas present idea? http://cdbaby.com/cd/didierverna Didier Verna EPITA / LRDE, 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel.+33 (1) 44 08 01 85 94276 Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France Fax.+33 (1) 53 14 59 22

I haven't tested it yet, but I assume it would because it's equivalent to Nathan's suggestion, that works. Thanks! Alberto
