fixes #592
regex was parsed by string method and not considering escaped delimiters
a regex sequence with an escaped delimiter would be cut short (see issue)
lexing logic for parsing regex was moved into a separate method
a regex sequence with an escaped delimiter is now properly handled
test cases were added to make this behavior visible and testable for the future
