Heh, just seen this after the other thread, so guess I'll repeat what I said
there:
Using parentheses is completely unnecessary. Use \0 in the replacement string
instead.
If search_string is (for example) "$10" or ":)" or "a+b^c" or whatever then
simply using it as a regex_pattern will cause problems.
To solve this means escaping the meta-characters, for example,
search_string.replaceAll('[$^*()+\[\]{}.?\\|]','\\$0')
Putting both those together results in:
REReplaceNoCase
( answer
, search_string.replaceAll('[$^*()+\[\]{}.?\\|]','\\$0')
, '<span class="keyword">\0</span>'
, 'all'
)
(Though of course, as noted in the other thread, this doesn't deal with HTML.)
