hi all I have a regex defined in python/ruby/php that is like this

"(forumdisplay.php\?.*page=%CURRENTPAGE%)"

when I do it for java, I have to double escape that question mark to //?

like so:

"(forumdisplay.php\\?.*page=%CURRENTPAGE%)";

is there a function I can use to do that automatically? or would I need to change all my regexes over to work with the java regex engine?

thanks
