Not to be picky, but I think you actually meant to place the
parentheses like this:

match(/(v4.|v 4.|-4-)/)

In any event, these would not match '(' and ')', but are just used for
grouping.  In this particular case, you probably don't need the
parentheses at all.

Also, note that  '.' matches any one character except a newline.  In
context above, you might be expecting it to match a period, in which
case it should be '\.'.
