Gary D. Gregory updated TEXT-232:
---------------------------------
Description:
{{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.
