Re: bug with regexp?

/\$[^[] does not find $foo

it works fine in other regexps, including sed and vim

i'm looking for $ followed by anything except [

doing /\$[^\[] doesnt help (escaping the [ with a backslash)

Re: bug with regexp?

Nirva, you are right. The regex compiler only tried to interpretate '[' in a set as a potential start for a posix char class (such as "[:alnum:]"), and else failed. I have fixed this (and also implemented gI) and uploaded build 2.0.52:
