title: Regex. Escape group?
body: <p>Is there any way to make <code>something.+()[]*</code> matching literally 'something.+()[]*'? I'm using regex builder so manual escaping is not allowed. Sure, i can add hardcoded checks <code>if (char === '+') return '\+'</code> but i'm looking for native solution or better way</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPD</strong></p>
  
  <p>I'm sorry. I forgot to add that matching should be in given order with moving forward but not back. So <code>[+.]</code> will not fit my requirements because it will match both <code>+.</code> and <code>.+</code>. I need only first case (In definition order)</p>
