No.  the $ anchor assumes that you might have a "\n" at the end of your
string and doesn't include it in the match, so "zzqg" and "zzqg\n";  would
both match.

Thanks Nikola and Bob.

Would "anchoring with \z" tantamount to having a
trailing "$"? In other words, are the following
expressions one and the same?

 /^[0-9a-fA-F]+\z/
 /^[0-9a-fA-F]+$/
