I assumed the searched term was "\" and not "\)". Because then the closing
brace would have been there already, since it wasn't escaped. And when you
think about it, if the search was indeed "\)", then they both need to be
escaped "\\\)" and then surrounded with the grouping braces (\\\))... then
finally /(\\\))/ . Way confusing... o_O
When regular expression is used to solve a problem, you'll only end up with
having two problems instead of one.
