Nevermind, I think I figured it out: "\" must be a Lua escape too, so
that you need to write "^\\[" in order for Lua to generate the string
"^\[" to feed the SciTE search. (This is slightly diabolical :-))
Yes, that's the usual problem with regexes in programming languages,
except when they have a special notation like in Perl or JavaScript
(/^\[/ for example).
There is a simple workaround for Lua, offering a better visibility:
editor:findtext([[^\[]],SCIFIND_REGEXP,position)
OK, given that you search a bracket, that's not so much readable, but
literal strings are usually better for strings with backslashes in them.
Note that Lua's internal regexes uses % as escape char, so we don't have
backslash hell (try matching a Windows path...)
