Summary: Try regexp-quote

Neulich schrieb karl@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (Karl Kleinpaste):
  Can anyone give
  me a simple function which takes a string argument and inserts
  backslashes (\) in front of RE-special characters within the string?

Is something wrong with "regexp-quote"?

regexp-quote:
Return a regexp string which matches exactly STRING and nothing else.
