regex - How to escape text for regular expression in Java




Does Java have a built-in way to escape arbitrary text so that it can be included in a regular expression? For example, if my users enter "$5", I'd like to match that exactly rather than a "5" after the end of input.


Answer



Since Java 1.5, yes:



Pattern.quote("$5");
