Hi all,
I have a web interface with offers a search field. This search field
will look for the string X in 12 different columns. If the string is
found anywhere I return the row.
The problem is that the user is eable to put spacial character like : [*
This create invalid regular expression and make my sql crash.
ICNUM~* #descriptionOrKeyword#
Is there a way to disable all meta-character. I found this in the
manual .. but haven't found example :-(:
: ....with ***=, the rest of the RE is taken to be a literal string,
with all characters
considered ordinary characters.
I know my question si basic . but I search around and haven't found so
far .. please help :-)
Thanks
/David
