<h3>NAME</h3>
like_to_rlike(): Convert a LIKE expression to an RLIKE (REGEXP) expression.
<h3>TYPE</h3>
Function
<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
<p>
This function modifies a <strong>LIKE</strong> expression into a compatible expression
to work with <strong>RLIKE</strong> (REGEXP).
</p>
<p>
<strong>LIKE</strong> expressions use "<strong>_</strong>" for single character pattern mapping,
and "<strong>%</strong>" for multiple characters (zero or more) pattern mapping.
</p>
<p>
Regular expressions use "<strong>.</strong>" and "<strong>.*</strong>" instead. The routine
translates to a matching regular expression pattern, while taking care to escape some
(this is incomplete) characters which are special characters in regular expression, that may
have appeared in the <strong>LIKE</strong> expression.
</p>
<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
<p>
<blockquote><pre>like_to_rlike(expression TEXT CHARSET utf8)
RETURNS TEXT CHARSET utf8</pre></blockquote>

Input:

<li><strong>expression</strong>: a <strong>LIKE</strong> expression
