Hello,

While writing custom function to set regexp search string for c/c++ code I 
stumbled upon a backslash to slash translation problem.
The `org-insert-link' function destroys my regexp by changing all 
backslashes to slashes. 
(I construct the regexp like this: (concat token1 "[ \\t]*" token2))
It happens only under windows, under linux it is ok.
The culprit is the `expand-file-name' function, eg.

for a C source line - a_struct.a_field = 1;

on linux:
(expand-file-name "~/file.h::/a_struct[ \\t]*\\.[ \\t]*a_field[ \\t]*=[ 
\\t]*1[ \\t]*;/"))
becomes:
/home/user/file.h::/a_struct[ \t]*\.[ \t]*a_field[ \t]*=[ \t]*1[ \t]*;/

on windows:
d:/Profiles/user/Application Data/file.h::/a_struct[ /t]*/.[ /t]*a_field[ 
/t]*=[ /t]*1[ /t]*;/

Is this an expected behavior or a bug? Can you recommend a solution or a 
workaround?

regards,
Rafal

Can you give an example?

AFAIK expand-file-name doesn't take a regexp as its argument.

HTH,

So I'm trying to write a custom function to set regexp search string for c/c++
code by writing org-create-file-search-functions hook. (code #1 below )

After using the hook by issuing org-store-link in c/c++ buffer, and
org-insert-link in org-mode buffer I noticed that the link has slashes instead
of backslashes in my regexp.
So I delved into the org-insert-link code and found out that it calls
expand-file-name on the whole link (filename::regexp) which translates my
regexp's backslashes to slashes. It happens only on emacs on windows, 
under linux it is ok.
I also experimented by changing the culprit lines of org-store-link and 
it helped (code #2 below) but it seems to be too destructive. 
So I'm wondering if it is a bug that may be fixed or my way of doing 
it is wrong?

regards,
Rafal

I suppose more a glitch.  AFAIK there is currently no distinction
between real link target paths (files, directories etc.) and
expressions that would qualify as a query part of a link (e.g. like
the regexp).

Maybe fiddling with percent escaping (Cf. org-link-escape and
org-link-unescape) might provide a way to protect the slashes from
conversion.

I tested it but unfortunately it didn't help. 
What's worse I noticed that my regexp is broken on linux too - all double
slashes '//' (c++ single one line comment) become one slash '/'.
