escape_regex R Documentation
Escape a string for safe use inside a regular expression
Description
Wraps every regex-metacharacter in a backslash so the resulting string can
be embedded literally in a pattern. Used by the semicolon-delimited parser
(and any other code that turns a user separator into a regex) so that a
separator such as "." or "+" is matched as a literal character
rather than as a metacharacter.
Usage
escape_regex(x)
Arguments
x
Character scalar to escape.
Value
Escaped character scalar.
