Subject: Regular expression grouping not working?
Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2020 14:17:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <02a28c91-d67d-e76a-c2a7-41b82d6b023f@gmail.com> (raw)

I'm writing some code that includes the regular expression \\([^/]+/\\), 
(looking for a path on GNU/Linux) which doesn't match what I expect it 
should.

On the other hand, the regular expression [^/]+/, exactly the regular 
expression within the first, does match.

That seems wrong somehow. Is there something I'm missing?

Isn't there a difference between "acquittal" and "exoneration"?
