Function escapeRegExp

escapeRegExp(s: string): string
Escapes regex metacharacters for a literal pattern outside character classes.
Parameters
- s: string
  String to escape.
Returns string
Regex source matching s literally when used as a standalone pattern.
Remarks
Suitable for the RegExp constructor, not for generating JavaScript regex literals. Does not escape character-class punctuation such as -, or prevent a leading digit from extending an adjacent escape. Native RegExp.escape() handles those embedding hazards as well.

Deprecated
Use native RegExp.escape() when available.
Example
```
new RegExp(escapeRegExp('example.com')).test('example.com');   // true
new RegExp(escapeRegExp('example.com')).test('exampleXcom');   // false
```
