Contains the character used to escape the following character in a mask expression.
Source position: masks.pas line 212
public property TMaskBase.EscapeChar : Char |
EscapeChar causes the character that immediately follows the value to be treated as a literal character instead of a wildcard. It is used to allow wildcard characters (like '?' or '*') or set / range characters (like '[', '-', or ']') to be used as literals in the Mask expression. The default value for the property is '\' (Backslash) as assigned in the Create constructor.
EscapeChar must be one of the 7-bit ASCII characters in the range #0..#127. Setting the property to a value larger than #127 (ASCII Delete) causes an EMaskError exception to be raised with the message in the rsInvalidEscapeChar resource string.
Changing the value for the property causes Compile to be called during execution of the Matches method.
Descendent classes (which include the Mask expression) use the value in their Compile and CompileRange methods. Make sure the class instance has the value mocRange in the MaskOpCodes property to enable range notation in the Mask expression.
