Problem:
I proposed a new function to the OpenBD folks on their tracker a while back to help in the RegEx area of the language. The function REEscape(string) takes a string and escapes any RegEx control characters (like * . - braces, etc.) so the string is safe for use in a RegEx pattern as string literal. This function was recently added to the OpenBD 1.5 BER. The reason why I proposed this function is that similar functions are available in Ruby, PHP, .Net and Python. We're definitely missing out on this.The current version in OpenBD escapes the following characters:$, {, }, (, ), <, >, [, ], ^, ., *, +, ?, #, :, &, and \This issue has been file as RAILO-1168 as well.
