> VR CsFile search utility methods fail when search string has char *, + etc.
> These utility methods in CsFile [1] uses python regular expression module to
> search a string in a file. However, if caller passes a search string, that
> has chars *, +, . etc that are also happen to be express wild card / match
> expression in regular expression results in exceptions from python 're'
> module.
> For instance searching for VPN user [2] passes "username * password *" as
> search string, if password has chars the interfer with regular expression
> metacharecters then search will result in exception.
