Subject: Easy way to escape text for use in regexps?

I need to be able to include some arbitrary text as input into a regular 
expression and I'm looking for a way to escape regular expression 
metacharacters within my data(e.g. escape a "?" for example).

Is there a library somewhere that has this function available?

Thanks,
Wes
