Re: escape character in regex

Ken

Thanks for pointing out that.
I was asking this b/c I want to put regex in a variable and use it for 
matching.

such as this one in java/scala:

scala> val regex = """\w+\$\w+\$\w+""".r
val regex: scala.util.matching.Regex = \w+\$\w+\$\w+

scala> str
val res72: String = hello$world$buddy

scala> regex.matches(str)
val res73: Boolean = true


regards
