== Why is this an issue?
include::../description.adoc[]
To match a literal string, rather than a regular expression, either all special characters should be escaped or methods that don't use regular expressions should be used.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,javascript]
----
new RegExp("([");
str.match("([");
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,javascript]
----
new RegExp("\\(\\[");
str.match("\\(\\[");
str.replace("([", "{");
