Subject: Need regex help (or bug in match)

Hi

I seem to be having a problem with match and I can't figure
it out. It's either a bug or I am doing something stupid
and can't see the forest for the trees.

Can regex guru help me out here?
Thanks

 FETCH_DATA_HDR = /\[([^]]*)\]/
 
 PUSH_DATA_HDR = Proc.new { |line|
   m = FETCH_DATA_HDR.match(line.strip)
   a = m[1].split(/\s*,\s*/, 2)
   hdr = []
   p a
   hdr << {:X_VAR_NOM => a.shift}
   p a
   p a[0]
   s = /^([^(]*)\(/.match(a[0])
   puts /Vg/ =~ a[0]  #=> nil
   p s[1]             #=> Vg  # How can this match Vg when /Vg/ =~ a[0] == nil?
 }
 
 line = "[Vgs, Id(Vbs=0.0E+00), Id(Vbs=-4.5E-01), Vds=1.0E-01, Ref_Vs=0]"
 PUSH_DATA_HDR.call(line)
