The problem may lie in the boundary of a character class, [ and ] and the rules about its content. Does the regex interpreter read [\[] as 2 characters, "\ or ]" or as one "literal ]"; or "literal \"? How is the following "]" parsed? There may be enough ambiguity in the definitions that tests will only be valid in the particular interpreter. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
