ReEscape

[community_help]

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/CFMLRef/WSd8001ae4abdbd9111bde3f141350d876c7e-8000.html

The description "String appended with the escape characters" (my emphasis) is misleading. "append" means to "add to the end", which is not what happens here 9as that would make no sense).

What it means is simply that any characters meaningful to the regex engine are escaped.
