I've been using Valentina.EscapeString() for Regex searches, but the searches fail if they have characters like (, ), or ? I see these characters aren't being escaped properly to

\(
\)
\?

I can add the \ myself and now the Regex searches work.

What does Valentina.escapestring do, then? Should I roll my own escape method?

Hello Jonathan,

Valentina.EscapeString() escapes ' and \ characters. The returned string can be safely used as a string (single-quoted) literal in the SQL query.

Thanks. So the answer is yes, we must escape any other reserved characters ourselves.

Hi Jon,

we have seen that existed attempts to add REGEX chars to this function Valentina.EscapeString()
But later they were removed. We need to return back to this point I think
