I'm wondering if there is a convenient function that can readily
convert a string with the special characters to its corresponding
regex. For example,

"some.thing" => "some\.thing"
Did you try bothering to *read* the page you linked to?

There's a function for escaping strings right there...

Literacy...a worthwhile skill to obtain.

Sorry, I didn't see it. If there are examples besides explanations for
each command, it will help people see the usage of each command more
easily.

Or it will clutter the whole page.

That's not to say the docs can't be improved. But *reading* them will always be required.
