Can anyone give me a clue why the following doesn't print a number in
the mini-buffer or to the *Messages* buffer?:
(defun count-words (start end) ;; alias wce
"Print number of words in the region."
(interactive "r")
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(narrow-to-region start end)
(goto-char (point-min))
(count-matches "\\sw+"))))
an alias is assigned so that I can invoke with
M-x wce (word count emacs)
Thanks,
Ed
