how to escape forward slash?
Hello all,
Does anyone know how to escape forward
slash using jakarta regexp, the funny
thing is that sed understand well the
escaping of forward slash: \/ but regexp
does not.
e.g. when providing the pattern:
/ C\/O / /
I get the following error:
org.apache.regexp.RESyntaxException: Syntax error: Escape terminates string
...
PATTERN ERROR in line: / C\/O / /
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Giovanni

I think you can use:
/ C[/]O / /
I haven't tested this but in 1.42 s.replaceAll("C/O","xxx") works fine
I haven't tested th

Hi,
The problem will be that whatever is parsing your thesaurus (text file) is not
escaping the / so it only passes " C\" to regexp rather than " C/O / " as you
desired. Hence the string is terminated with an escape, which is invalid.
kind regards
Michael
