escaping semicolon

[Gerd Mueller]

Hi all,



I thought of writing a patch to quote semicolons with a backslash
 or even better to convert hex to ascii (like \xEB for a semicolon).
 It was very simple but did not work with NRPE :-(. NRPE has its
 own nasty characters. So escaping inside nagios config will not
 be enough :-(.  So I am thinking of "global" solution of escaping
 nasty characters inside nagios. 



Anybody any suggestion about a better pattern to escape nasty characters?
