Greetings:
I have discovered that the pattern matching in try/catch blocks does not
conform to my expectations.
Try this example:
try
echoerr 'foo bar baz'
catch /foo/
echo 'caught'
endtry
The string "caught" is printed, as I would expect.
Now try this:
try
echoerr 'foo bar baz'
catch /^foo/
echo 'caught'
endtry
You will see that the message was NOT caught. It appears that using the
"^" metacharacter here causes the message not to match.
Can anyone else confirm this? Is this a bug?
It definitely surprised me.
