The following code prints true. It should return false shouldn't it?
package main
import "regexp"
import "fmt"
func main() {
res, _ := regexp.MatchString("[a-z][0-9a-zA-Z_$]*", "%s")
fmt.Println(res)
}

1Why should it return no match? It finds `s`. Add anchors to enforce the entire string match, `\`^[a-z][0-9a-zA-Z_$]*$\``. – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 16 '16 at 11:56

I think its too late for me. Exhaustion is setting in for me. Thanks. – Simon C Dec 16 '16 at 12:00

maybe you expecting what [FindString](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/#Regexp.FindString) does? – Wolf Dec 16 '16 at 15:23
