regular expressions metacharacters screening

To find substring I use regEx pattern = "^value\s\w+\s\d+$", where value sometimes contains metacharacters. I just need to know if it is possible to make metacharacters from value not to be interpret as metacharacters?

Solution

  • Try:

    "^" + RegEx.Escape(value) + @"\s\w+\s\d+$"
