Your error message would suggest it thinks "[" is the beginning of a  
regexp charset. So for ordinary strings maybe this is true since they  
are the same as their representation as a regular expression.

Try using "\[" and "\]" --i.e. backslash to escape the brackets...

Let us know what you find.
