Finding last word inside hashes in a document, using Emacs Evil Mode

Question

I've a document I'm editing, were I want to search for the next occurrence of the last word that appears within a pair of hashes. Some examples would be:

 #word#, #x(anotherWord)#, #y(x(yetAnotherWord))# 

I want to ignore the surrounding functions and brackets.

I'm new to Vim key bindings and am not clear on how to do it either in evil or holy modes.

Answer 1

/\b\w+\Sw*#[^#<C-q C-j>]*$<RET>

This should work in evil, whereby <C-q C-j> and <RET> are key-sequences.

Unless, what you really want to do is searching for symbols rather than words.

Here is an explanation of the regular-expression's components.

\b               ;beginning of a word
\w+              ;one or more word character
\Sw*             ;zero or more non-word character
#                ;a single '#' character
[^#<C-q C-j>]*   ;0 or more arbitrary character, except '#' and '\n'
$                ;end of line
