Hi Experts,

Iam facing an issue in one of my java applications.

We are using Java tool to update the information from frontend.

If the notes contain "/" slash character, application is throwing the below
error :

org.apache.oro.text.perl.MalformedPerl5PatternException: Invalid option: N
at org.apache.oro.text.perl.Perl5Util.substitute(Unknown Source)..


body = substituteWith(util, body, "Notes", notes);


protected static String substituteWith(Perl5Util util, String b, String c,
String v) {

return util.substitute("s/#" + c + "#/" + (v != null ?
v : " ") + "/g", b);
}

Any pointers on this issue or its an identified bug.

Thanks in Advance!
Wish You A HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Thanks & Regards,
Satya Sai

------- Additional Comments From ***@apache.org 2007-12-31 10:38 -------
You're creating an invalid expression. It works exactly the same way in Perl.
If your foo and/or bar within /foo/bar/ contains /, either use a different
character than / that isn't contained in foo and bar or escape all the /'s in
foo and bar. You may find it more appropriate to use
org.apache.oro.text.regex.Util.substitute, where you don't have to worry about
the contents of the substitution and can scrub a dynamically generated pattern
with Perl5Compiler.quotemeta before compiling it.

You can get support via the oro-user mailing list first before reporting a bug
through the issue tracking system.
