Actually we're escaping with another apostrophe, so JavaScript can handle any embedded apostrophes. I am not familiar with regular expression syntax at all, sort of inherited the project. I just know what was there, as far the regular expression goes, worked until we upgraded the server to Tomcat 5.

This worked for me on TC 5.0.19: <%@ page contentType="text/plain" %> <%@ taglib prefix="rx" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/regexp-1.0"; %> <rx:text id="text">\regular\ 'expression' "test"</rx:text> <rx:regexp id="rx">s/(\\|'|")/\\\$1/g</rx:regexp> <rx:substitute regexp="rx" text="text"/> Which produced: \\regular\\ \'expression\' \"test\" I changed \\$1 to \\\$1. Quoting Karl Coleman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > It isn't a problem with the expression. It worked under Tomcat 4. But when we > upgraded to 5 it stopped working. Anyway, the expression is > s/(\\|'|")/\\$1/g. Since TOmcat 5 got installed, it is replacing apostrphes > with the string literal "$1", instead of another apostrophe.
