In the doc for NSRegularExpression, it says
"Characters that must be quoted to be treated as literals are * ? + [ ( ) {
} ^ $ | \ . / "
I don't see why / is a meta character.
It does not appear anywhere else in the documentation as metacharacter.
(Also not at http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings/regexp , which is
referenced in the
doc for NSRegularExpression )
Can anyone shed light on this?
Best regards, Gabriel
