Hello all,

Does anyone know how to escape forward
slash using jakarta regexp, the funny
thing is that sed understand well the
escaping of forward slash: \/ but regexp does not.

e.g. when providing the pattern:

/ C\/O / /

I get the following error:

org.apache.regexp.RESyntaxException: Syntax error: Escape terminates string ...
PATTERN ERROR in line: / C\/O / /

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,
