I have to use queryByAttributes to make an external database jointo
Oracle database. It works perfectly except when it needs to match an

"[NAME]" =~ /214/2/
where the string „214/2“ is the value it has to find. If I put "[NAME]"
=~ /214/, it finds it, but my users will often use „214/2“ in their
query. I hav tried escaping the slash sign, like:
"[NAME]" =~ /214\/2/
but it still doesn't find the value. If I put "[NAME]" =~ /214.2/ then
the value is found.
Dejan,
there is currently no way to escape a slash inside a regular expression
in MapServer. In addition, I don't think GNU regex supports any kind of
octal or hex notation to specify a certain character like
/214\x2f2/
where \x2f would be the slash character (ASCII #47 = 2f).
Only thing that comes to mind would be to link MapServer against the PHP
PCRE regex, if that still works (haven't tried it in a while).
Perl-compatible regular expressions should then allow you to do the sort
of hex-escape I mentioned above.
Best regards,
