Abstract
Documentation:
The escape regex function takes a single string component and escapes all the regular expression characters. The purpose for this is that many times, a component used in pattern match needs to be treated a literal string and not regular expression. For example assume a basic component element that pulls a file path out of the Windows registry. This path is a string that might contain regular expression characters but these characters are not intended to be such, so they need to be escaped. This function allows a definition writer to mark which components are in regular expression format and which aren't.
