[issue29959] re.match failed to match left square brackets as the first char

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

re.match() checks if the beginning of the string matches the regular expression pattern. Use re.search() if you want to find the match not at the beginning of the string.
