I'm trying to expand abbreviations with some additional characters, so I'm using the regexp option on an abbrev-table to try and add these characters. The expression I used was found on this tutorial http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/elisp_abbrev.html and is "\\([_-*0-9A-Za-z]+\\)""\\([_-*0-9A-Za-z]+\\)" when using this expression I can only use expands that match a single character. I've tried several different variations on the regexp and can't get anything to work. Any suggestions of what is going on would be great?

Regexp only matching one character when using abbreviations
