Julian Reschke commented on JCR-4042: ------------------------------------- Well, you need a way to quote the quote character -- unless it's not allowed in the text anyway, in which case that needs to be described in the API. > Adding Escape Character in GQL > ------------------------------ > > Key: JCR-4042 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4042 > Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository > Issue Type: Bug > Components: jackrabbit-jcr-commons > Reporter: Ankit Agarwal > > Currently GQL does not have a escape character. Adding the escape character > will help in special character cases for example where a search term contains > both colon(:) and quote(") character. > for example search string is foo:bar, if term is put in quote "foo:bar" and > this whole term is considered as a single search value. > But in case user need to search foo"abc:bar then putting this term in quotes > won't work. But if GQL will have a escape character, then user can search > this term using escape character. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
