Find first instance of ';' or '{'

[flethuseo]

This piece of code works good to find the end of a statement. I'm wondering if it can be changed to search for the first instance of either ';' or '{'. Any good way to do that:
// Find end of statement. This handles multiple-line statements.
   search(";","@hXcs");

Hmm I think I've figured this one out myself:
   

Code: [Select]

if (search("[;|{]","+>R?")) stop();
I did want to ask though, how do I escape a quote string on regular search expressions with slickedit reg expressions. I have tried '" and \" and neither worked.

It's better to use single quoted strings for regular expressions.

Double quoted regex search for backslash: "\\\\"
Single quoted regex search for backslash: '\\'
