How can you match any metacharacters as literal values in a regular expression?

What will be an ideal response?

To match any metacharacters as literal values in a regular expression, you must precede the character with a backslash. For example, a period (.) metacharacter matches any single character in pattern. If you want to ensure that a string contains an actual period and not any character, you need to escape it with a backslash.
