The documentation in regexp/syntax says that [[:xdigit:]] equals to [0-9A-Fa-f]. But when I execute the code below some non hexadecimal strings are matched.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "regexp"
)

func main() {
    re := regexp.MustCompile(`([[:xdigit:]]+),([[:xdigit:]]+)`)

    fmt.Println(re.MatchString("0.0,0.0"))   // true
    fmt.Println(re.MatchString("-0.0,0.0"))  // true
    fmt.Println(re.MatchString("0.0,-0.0"))  // false
    fmt.Println(re.MatchString("-0.0,-0.0")) // false
}

Yes, it's matching "0,0" in the middle.

Working as intended.

Use ^ and $ around you query if you want to match the full thing. http://play.golang.org/p/xuW71N04-x
