E68: Invalid character after \z
thanks
This isn't a bug. If you're trying to match a backslash followed by the
letter 'z', you need to double the backslash. In double quotes,
backslash is an escape character. So, the regular expression you're
matching contains:
\z (and not \\z)
\z is the start of a special sequence. \\z is a literal backslash
followed by a z. If you're not trying to match a literal '\z', maybe
you're looking for \zs, \ze, or \Z.
See:
