javascript - List of all characters that should be escaped before put in to RegEx?

Question

Could someone please give a complete list of special characters that should be escaped?

I fear I don't know some of them.

Take a look at PHP.JS's implementation of PHP's preg_quote function, that should do what you need:

The special regular expression characters are: . + * ? [ ^ ] $ ( ) { } = ! < > | : -
