[SOLVED]ZSH and regular expressions

Question

Hi
I am getting into regular expressions and i have noticed that with my .zshrc file i have some problem. In bash this expression works:
\^\[^#]
but not also in zsh. I have also noted that regular expression works fine with other zshrc configurations found in archwiki (like grml) but i want to have my configuration. And i really can't find what command make a difference
My .zshrc file is pulled from this site https://github.com/slashbeast/things/bl … s/DOTzshrc.

Could you try being a bit more specific?
Firstly, i am sorry i didn't post the output. I should have know better.
Secondly, chill out.
I have used above regex with grep command. Output from terminal is:
zsh: bad pattern: ^[^#]
In bash it works perfectly.
If i issue "setopt re_match_pcre" i have the same ouput as above.
EDIT: If i issue "unsetopt no_match" it actually works but i have to change the regex from "\^\[^#]" to "\^[^#]" otherwise i get the same output as above. In bash both options work.
