Description
Regex.Escape is part of the Regex library. Regex wraps a compiled pattern object. Matching and replacement follow the module's regex engine rather than Lua patterns.
The call is read-only: it resolves the current value when invoked and does not change the underlying state.
Example
print(Regex.Escape("1+1=2"))Notes
- Regex patterns use the module's engine; refer to its flag syntax rather than Lua patterns.
