- Certain characters need to be escaped with a \ (a backslash) placed in front of them in order for those characters to be accepted as literals. If the backslash is followed by a non-alphanumeric character, it takes away any special meaning that character may have.
- Characters that require the use of the \ character. ” ^ [ $ ( ) | * + ? { \ /” .
- Example: A manually entered ticker rename rule for symbol VALE.P would need to be inserted as VALE\.P as the MATCH value for the particular source you are receiving the symbol from. The SET value does not need the escape character.
