Escaped characters that don't need to be escaped #18

Closed trianglePB closed 5 years ago

trianglePB commented 5 years ago

The following expression creates an error in the .NET programming language: lycos[\_\+]

The character "_" (char code 95) does not need escaping because it does not have a special meaning in Regular Expressions. Escaping character "_" creates an error in .NET at runtime. The character "+" (char code 43) is a special character in Regular Expressions, but within a character set it is not required to escape characters other than "\", "-" and "]".

lycos[\_\+] should be changed to lycos[_+]
