Using Regular Expression in Table Filter

[former_member187990]

Hi,

I am facing a problem in Table Filtering.I am using Table Filter Java Class of Kapil Kamble[Table Filter|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5350] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken];.I followed the steps given and it is working fine.when a regular expression containing * is given as Input(ex : 100* ) it is working but when i tried to give Special Characters like (,{,[,++ etc it is throwing an exception(PatternSyntaxException exception, Dangling meta character exception).It is because the string in not a valid pattern.

In order to use regular expression in the filter and to avoid these exception what should be done in the Table Filter Class.

Thanks & Regards
