For example, to sort lines RECORD-REGEXP would be \"^.*$\"
KEY specifies the part of each record (ie each match for RECORD-REGEXP)
is to be used for sorting.
- If it is \"\\digit\" then the digit'th \"\\(...\\)\" match field from
+ If it is \"\\\\digit\" then the digit'th \"\\\\(...\\\\)\" match field from
RECORD-REGEXP is used.
- If it is \"\\&\" then the whole record is used.
+ If it is \"\\\\&\" then the whole record is used.
Otherwise, it is a regular-expression for which to search within the record.
If a match for KEY is not found within a record then that record is ignored.
For example: to sort lines in the region by the first word on each line
starting with the letter \"f\",
- RECORD-REGEXP would be \"^.*$\" and KEY would be \"\\=\\<f\\w*\\>\""
+ RECORD-REGEXP would be \"^.*$\" and KEY would be \"\\\\=\\<f\\\\w*\\\\>\""
;; using negative prefix arg to mean "reverse" is now inconsistent with
;; other sort-.*fields functions but then again this was before, since it
;; didn't use the magnitude of the arg to specify anything.
