[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (JEXL-98) Quote escaping cannot be escaped

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-98?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12844136#action_12844136 ]

There is definitely a problem in the grammar wrt escaping.
A workaround is to use Unicode escaping for the backslashes like the following code:
{code}
    public static class fn98 {
        public String replace(String str, String target, String replacement) {
            return str.replace(target, replacement);
        }
    }
    
    public void test98() throws Exception {
        String expr = "fn:replace('DOMAIN\\somename', '\\u005c', '\\u005c\\u005c')";
        JexlEngine jexl = new JexlEngine();
        Map<String,Object> funcs = new HashMap<String,Object>();
        funcs.put("fn", new fn98());
        jexl.setFunctions(funcs);
        Object value = jexl.createExpression(expr).evaluate(null);
        assertEquals(expr, "DOMAIN\\\\somename", value);
    }
{code}

> I want to invoke a "replace" method which (pretty much like String.replace()) takes three String parameters:
> function.replace(String text, String oldPart, String newPart)
> If I invoke it to replace single backslash characters with double backslash characters (which is admittedly a VERY special use case), I invoke it in my unit test with an expression like this one:
>   function.replace('DOMAIN\somename', '\\', '\\\\')
> The result with JEXL 1.x was a string "DOMAIN\\somename". But with JEXL 2, I get this error:

> Obviously, the JEXL parser thinks that the backslash in the first string is meant to escape the following quote, which it isn't. The String should actually end there. So, I tried to escape the escape character, like this:
>   function.replace('DOMAIN\somename', '\\\\', '\\\\\\\\')
> But to no avail, same error.
> So, can escape characters be escaped in JEXL 2?
