[h-e-w] etags problem!

[Yunbiao Wang]

Hi,
I have asked for help on how to create etags on matlab
files. I have gotten to answers. Thanks!

Since I do not have Bourne shell on window, I decide
to use etage to create the tags file. However, no
matter how hard I tried, etags keeps generating error
message. I am using emacsNT ver. 20.7. The following
are the message and command I have tried. Can anyone
help me to find out the problem and how to fix it? I
suspect that etags has bugs!

This is the first command I tried:

E:\ywang\AECMATLAB>etags --language=none --regex='/[
\t]*function.*=[ \t]*\([^ \t]*\)[ \t]*(/\1/' 
--regex='/###key \(.*\)/\1/'  --regex='/[ \t]*global[
\t].*/'  *.m
etags --language=none --regex='/[ \t]*function.*=[
\t]*\([^ \t]*\)[ \t]*(/\1/'  --regex='/###key
\(.*\)/\1/'  --regex='/[ \t]*global[ \t].*/'  *.m
/t]*function.*=[: Invalid argument
/t]*/([: Invalid argument
/t]*/)[: Invalid argument
/t]*(//1/': Invalid argument
/(.*/)//1/': Invalid argument
/t]*global[: Invalid argument
/t].*/': Invalid argument
etags: '/[: unterminated regexp
etags: '/###key: unterminated regexp
etags: '/[: unterminated regexp

Since it is too long to debug the previous command, I
decide to try a short one:

E:\ywang\AECMATLAB>etags --language=none --regex=/^[
]function/ *.m
etags --language=none --regex=/^[ ]function/ *.m
]function/: Invalid argument
etags: /[: unterminated regexp

Thanks!
