[jira] [Commented] (LANG-830) FastDateParser could use \Q \E to quote regexes

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-830?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13464625#comment-13464625 ] 

Sebb commented on LANG-830:
---------------------------

The Pattern.quote() method can be used for this.

> The escapeRegex method relies on knowing exactly what all the meta-characters are when excaping text. This is potentially fragile.
> It would be a lot simpler to use the \Q \E quoting mechanism.
> There would need to be special handling for unquote==true.
