Is this a case of needing to use a raw string instead of string literal as it appears the backslash is being escaped?

regexp.Compile(`^1234(?:\\|)`)

Instead of:

regexp.Compile("^1234(?:\\|)")

@bradleyfalzon yeah,it's effective;but why when i code like this "regexp.Compile(^123(?:4))", it come out "1234" ?https://play.golang.org/p/jB7FmxWz9r**

In quoted string literal a \ is used as a part of a escape sequence, a \\ escapes this. See https://golang.org/ref/spec#String_literals (and https://golang.org/ref/spec#Rune_literals)

To see this behaviour:

fmt.Println(`^1234(?:\\|)`) // outputs: ^1234(?:\\|)
fmt.Println("^1234(?:\\|)") // outputs: ^1234(?:\|)

You wanted the first behaviour, and therefore should use raw string.
