When I try and add a channel to this bot I get the following message. Do you have a fix?

/root/discord-bot-castform/bot.js:18
    const setChannel = message.content.match(/<@!?[0-9]*> (?<command>setChannel) <#(?<channel>[0-9]*)>/)
                                       ^

SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /<@!?[0-9]*> (?<command>setChannel) <#(?<channel>[0-9]*)>/: Invalid group

If I remember I also encountered this, but realised I was running on an old npm. Switched to the latest I had installed (node v11.6.0, npm 6.5.0) re-installed and I got it running. (edit: at least I think that was the solution I found)

Though there is probably a fix that can be done to make it compatible.

I manually updated node to version 11 using this and it now works.

Great - node version manager (nvm - https://github.com/creationix/nvm) I find is pretty good for getting your versions under control.

@5310 do you know why this is is not backwards compatible?

I've been using ES2015+ features pretty liberally throughout the project so there'll be plenty of cases where it won't be backwards compatible with older Node versions 😸

Thanks for the heads-up, I'm going to add this to the readme.
