Subject: the Regular exp read from file not matching !!

I am trying to read the syntax(here the regular expression) frpm a file.

When I use /^[0-1]{1}$/ with "1" as subject it works but
/^[0-1]{1}[a-zA-Z]{1,25}$/ syntax for "1,abcd" , I have checked out on
the interpreter directly both works fine.  I suppose I am messing up
something with the files, or gets or chomp or ..

Any help ?



     def sanity_check(param)
          filename = create_filename("Syntax",param) #this fn gets a
valid file name
          if File.exist?(filename)
            File.open(filename,"r+") do |syntaxfile|
              syntax = syntaxfile.gets.chomp
              return syntax.match(@newsettings.value)
            end
          end
          return true         # RETURN TRUE IF SYNTAX FILE NOT FOUND
     end
