Regexreplace fails to repalce "|" pipe

[MonuKashyap]

Code: Select all

newvar=1||2|3|4
var=|2
newvar := RegExReplace(newvar, var) ;;works incorrect
msgbox % newvar

in the above code the command Regexreplace successfully replaces 2, but failed to replace this pipe "|"
as shown in screenshot.

| is a special regex symbol that needs escaped if it's meant to be used literally
