Don't worry about the regexp/syntax package. You shouldn't use it. If we could hide it without breaking the Go 1 contract, we would. Specify flags by putting "(?flags)" at the start of your regexp. I don't know of a way to anchor a regexp other than using ^. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
