Subject: RE: Using Regex
double escape, in our setup
so a word break that is usually \b, needs to be '\\bthe\\b'

Subject: Using Regex
All,
I am using pig embedded in Java and need to use matches in my pig job.
However when I try to use escape characters in the pig line, the
compiler complains. How do I use complex regex while embedding?
Sample code that is throwing errors:
myServer.registerQuery("filtered = FILTER firstcut BY dIP matches
'\Q34.21.12.*\E';");
error: invalid escape sequence.
Thanks,
Matt
