Help with using Regular expressions - particularly caret - poona13 - 03-25-2008

I have two links on the page with the same text and href. But the class property is different.
I was trying to use the caret to match only the beginning of the class(which is a long string with alphanumeric characters, spaces,and hyphens). It starts with zz1 for the link that I want to use.
But it is not working.
I tried this:

Code:
Browser("xyz").Page("url:=http://xyz").Link("html tag:=A", "text:=Projects", "class:=^zz1").Click

I don't see any problem with the above expression... may be some other issue
