Ah thanks James, I missed the pending nil. The actual value is still nil indeed:
user=> (def m (re-matches #".*(foo\.gif).*" "foo.gif\n")) "foo.gif\n"#'user/m user=> m nil Not sure what would be the cause here then, but the random printing of the second argument of re-matches also happens when I evaluate an arbitrary function after the exception PatternSyntaxException Unmatched closing ')' near index 13 .*(foo\.gif).*) ^ java.util.regex.Pattern.error (Pattern.java:1924) RuntimeException Unmatched delimiter: ) clojure.lang.Util.runtimeException (Util.java:221) user=> (list 1 2) "foo.gif\n"(1 2) cider doesn't have this problem either it seems On Tue, Jun 16, 2015 at 12:56 PM, James Reeves <ja...@booleanknot.com> wrote: > On 16 June 2015 at 10:19, Jeroen van Dijk <jeroentjevand...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> I came accross this weird case below with re-matches (in clojure 1.6). >> For some reason the pattern matches, once just once, only after a parse >> exception.
