用于Javascript正则表达式的转义字符串

Question

  

可能重复：
  Is there a RegExp.escape function in Javascript?

我正在尝试根据用户输入构建一个javascript正则表达式：

function FindString(input) {
    var reg = new RegExp('' + input + '');
    // [snip] perform search
}

但是当用户输入包含?或*时，正则表达式将无法正常工作，因为它们被解释为正则表达式特殊符号。实际上，如果用户在其字符串中放置了不平衡(或[，则正则表达式甚至无效。

正确转义用于正则表达式的所有特殊字符的javascript函数是什么？

Answer 1

Short'n Sweet

function escapeRegExp(string) {
  return string.replace(/[.*+?^${}()|[\]\\]/g, '\\$&'); // $& means the whole matched string
}

示例

escapeRegExp("All of these should be escaped: \ ^ $ * + ? . ( ) | { } [ ]");

>>> "All of these should be escaped: \\ \^ \$ \* \+ \? \. \( \) \| \{ \} \[ \] "

安装

在{n}上以escape-string-regexp

的形式提供

npm install --save escape-string-regexp

注意

请参阅MDN: Javascript Guide: Regular Expressions

其他符号（~`！@＃...）可以在没有后果的情况下进行转义，但不是必须的。

测试用例：典型的网址

escapeRegExp("/path/to/resource.html?search=query");

>>> "\/path\/to\/resource\.html\?search=query"

长答案

如果你打算使用上面的函数，至少链接到你的代码文档中的这个堆栈溢出帖子，这样它看起来就像疯狂的难以测试的伏都教。

var escapeRegExp;

(function () {
  // Referring to the table here:
  // https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/regexp
  // these characters should be escaped
  // \ ^ $ * + ? . ( ) | { } [ ]
  // These characters only have special meaning inside of brackets
  // they do not need to be escaped, but they MAY be escaped
  // without any adverse effects (to the best of my knowledge and casual testing)
  // : ! , = 
  // my test "~!@#$%^&*(){}[]`/=?+\|-_;:'\",<.>".match(/[\#]/g)

  var specials = [
        // order matters for these
          "-"
        , "["
        , "]"
        // order doesn't matter for any of these
        , "/"
        , "{"
        , "}"
        , "("
        , ")"
        , "*"
        , "+"
        , "?"
        , "."
        , "\\"
        , "^"
        , "$"
        , "|"
      ]

      // I choose to escape every character with '\'
      // even though only some strictly require it when inside of []
    , regex = RegExp('[' + specials.join('\\') + ']', 'g')
    ;

  escapeRegExp = function (str) {
    return str.replace(regex, "\\$&");
  };

  // test escapeRegExp("/path/to/res?search=this.that")
}());
