title: Pattern.quote adds \\Q and \\E to the string java
body: <p>I am trying to replace text with special chars (that require me to Pattern.quote them) with a lowercase version of that text but the Pattern.quote function sometimes adds \Q and \E to the beginning and the end of the text so the replace method doesn't find it.
  The code i am using is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bigText = bigText.replaceFirst(Pattern.quote(text),text.toLowerCase());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to lose those chars?</p>
