Detailed Description

Gets a regular expression which matches the given string

The EscapeToRegularExpression activity returns a regular expression which matches the given string, but no other strings. This means that for the resulting regular expression, string:MatchToRegularExpression shall return true only for the given string.

Note: For instance, this can be realized by prepending a backslash to all characters which have a special meaning for string:MatchToRegularExpression, such as question marks and brackets.With this, for the given string "a($.)ä\", the result would be "a\‍(\$\.\‍)ä\\".

Syntax
StringTerm = Util.EscapeToRegularExpression(StringTerm string);
Examples
// Local Declarations
String String1;
Boolean Boolean1;
// Flow
// Returns "a\‍(\$\.\‍)ä\\"
String1 = Util.EscapeToRegularExpression("a($.)ä\\");
// Returns true
Boolean1 = StringUtil.MatchToRegularExpression("a($.)ä\\", String1);
