Arnout Engelen created TEXT-232:
-----------------------------------
Summary: containsAllWords may throw PatternSyntaxException
Key: TEXT-232
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-232
Project: Commons Text
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Arnout Engelen
WordUtils.containsAllWords checks if the String contains all words in the given
array.
Surprisingly, it interprets the words to be searched for as regular
expressions, so for example searching for ")" would throw a
PatternSyntaxException. Nothing in the javadoc nor the testcases suggests this
is intentional.
We could fix this by applying "{{{}Pattern.quote(){}}}" to the parameters, or
by rejecting non-word characters outright.
