> We were trying to remove an escape character in front of a single quote using regexp_replace.
> When testing our regexp, we wanted to make sure it wouldn't knock out non-escaped quotes. That led us to this odd case:
> {code:sql}
> Query: select regexp_replace("It's a bad test\'s day", "\\\\'", "'")
> +--------------------------------------------------------+
> | regexp_replace('it's a bad test\'s day', '\\\\'', ''') |
> +--------------------------------------------------------+
> | Its day                                                |
> +--------------------------------------------------------+
> {code}
> That only seems to happen when we mix single quotes with escaped quotes. If all the quotes are escaped it works. Here's a few more interesting cases:
> {code:sql}
> Query: select regexp_replace("It's a bad test's day", "\\\\'", "'")
> +-------------------------------------------------------+
> | regexp_replace('it's a bad test's day', '\\\\'', ''') |
> +-------------------------------------------------------+
> | Its day                                               |
> +-------------------------------------------------------+
> Query: select regexp_replace("It\'s a bad test\'s day", "\\\\'", "'")
> +---------------------------------------------------------+
> | regexp_replace('it\'s a bad test\'s day', '\\\\'', ''') |
> +---------------------------------------------------------+
> | It's a bad test's day                                   |
> +---------------------------------------------------------+
> {code}
