Placeholder escaping

[Omniferum]

<placeholder name="Please select the file extension type" options="[\.zip|\.rar|\.7z]|[\.exe|\.msi]" />

 

Where the square brackets are is where I REALLY want the "OR" to operate, every other time I just want it to be treated like a literal character. I don't know much about XML (or coding in general) and a quick google didn't really reveal a whole lot to me.

 

It is just part of a template for regex, as you can see it will just simplify "Are you looking for a binary file or an installer?" and I haven't found anything on the forum regarding this.

 

sooo short story is is there a way to escape special characters? I think it is Ketarin and not specifically XML that is... bleh, I dunno. Thought it easier to ask than kill myself over it again.

Huh? What special characters? The only special char is "|" to separate the options.

Clarification

 

\.zip|\.rar|\.7z is option 1, pure text entry

 

\.exe|\.msi is option 2, pure text entry

I see. Well, that's not possible. I have no intentions of implementing a parser for that option.

Fair enough, I get random bouts of exploring Ketarin is all and it is nice to know the limitations, if any. Just hard to find out on my own if it is a limit of Ketarin or a limit of my knowledge, I tend to assume it is my fault rather than anybody else.
