No, you're just falling into a very common error when using \b.

\b matches the 0-length transition between a \w character and a \W, and 
the beginning and the end of the string are counted as a \W.
But there's no such transition in your string: the \b is between the 
beginning (\W) and the leading backslash (\W again). Therefore, it will 
not match.

HTH,
