Match Pattern not working as intended

Hello,

 

Simple thing I'm confused about. I'm using Match Pattern to try and find [ in the string "Time[s]" and it seems that it is not finding it. What's going on here? It can find every other character in the string but not [.

The string you match to is a regular expression. You need to pass a "\[" instead of "[".
