Hi all,
I would like to take user input, which should be interpreted literally, and
put it inside a regular expression, something like
select * from files where path ~ (USER_INPUT || '.*')
How should I escape the user input? I mean: I know that I must insert double
backslashes before special characters (in the sense of regular expressions)
but how to know what these special characters are? Should I find every
possible character in the documentation for regular expressions? Is there a
safer way?
Thanks
Vincenzo Ciancia
