Escape special symbols from regexpr
I use this code:
static Pattern escaper = Pattern.compile("([^a-zA-z0-9])");
public static String escapeRE(String str) {
return escaper.matcher(str).replaceAll("\\\\$1");
}
It works pretty, until I don't use this string: "[". I looked in the debuger the result is "]" with开发者_开发技巧out "\\".
System.out.println(Main.escapeRE("+"));
System.out.println(Main.escapeRE(">="));
System.out.println(Main.escapeRE("]"));
System.out.println(Main.escapeRE("["));
Result:
\\+
\\>\\=
]
[
Why it is so?
Your character class [^a-zA-z0-9]
is incorrect. It should be: [^a-zA-Z0-9]
(note the A-Z
instead of A-z
).
Since both [
and ]
are included in the range A-z
, they're not replaced by your escapeRE
method.
EDIT
As @Matt mentioned in the comments: if you're trying to escape regex-meta-chars, have a look at the Pattern.quote(String) method which is created especially for this purpose.
