"R".match(%r[^R]) finds a match.

I don’t know much about regex but I thought ^ after a [ negates the character class, the characters between the brackets.

What am I missing?

    in your case brackets are not part of regex, your case is similar to %r|^R| or %r'^R' or place any character before % and after R
    what you want is %r|[^R]| or /[^R]/
