Simple scala regex does not work

Question
1

"HI?".matches("""[A-Z]\?""")
This returns false i don’t understand why. They should match

2

Hi,

There is a mistake: [A-Z] only matches one character. The following works

"HI?".matches("""[A-Z]+\?""")

Cheers,
Martin

That regex only matches one capital letter followed by a ‘?’. You
probably want

[A-Z]+?

or something else to make it match with more letters before the ‘?’.
