@defun read-regexp prompt &optional default
@defun read-regexp prompt &optional default-value
This function reads a regular expression as a string from the
minibuffer and returns it. The argument @var{prompt} is used as in
@code{read-from-minibuffer}. The keymap used is
@code{minibuffer-local-map}, and @code{regexp-history} is used as the
history list (@pxref{Minibuffer History, regexp-history}).
The optional argument @var{default}, if non-@code{nil}, specifies a
default value to return if the user enters null input. As
in @code{read-from-minibuffer} it should be a string, a list of
strings, or @code{nil} which is equivalent to an empty string. When
@var{default} is a string, that string is the default value. When it
is a list of strings, the first string is the default value. To this
default @code{read-regexp} adds a few other useful candidates, and
passes them to @code{read-from-minibuffer} to make them available to
the user as the ``future minibuffer history list'' (@pxref{Minibuffer
History, future list,, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}). These
candidates are:
