Holger Rehn commented on LUCENE-10430:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for the feedback! But why do I need to escape double quotes? This isn't
a regex meta character and doesn't have a special meaning in regular
expressions, so should be treated as literal, right? And
{code:java}
Pattern.compile( "\"" ).matcher( "\"" ).matches(){code}
simply returns true, as expected. Btw. - are you sure escaping double quotes
really works as expected? I seem to remember to have already tried that,
without getting the expected result... but I'm not sure.

> Key: LUCENE-10430
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10430
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core/other
> Affects Versions: 9.0
> Reporter: Holger Rehn
> Priority: Major
>
> Class org.apache.lucene.util.automaton.RegExp fails to parse valid regular
> expressions that contain double quotes (except in character classes). This of
> course affects corresponding RegexpQuerys, as well.
> Example:
> {code:java}
> Query q = new RegexpQuery( new Term( "field", "a\"b" ) );
> RegExp r = new RegExp( "a\"b" );{code}
> Both fail with:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: expected '"' at position 3

> ...{code}
> As a workaround we currently replace all double quotes with a dot.
