Search and replace not working for special characters.

Search replace not showing in deployment log file and not updating target.

For example:

DEFAULT-ui.stg.bridged.2.2.XMS.3.rar::<instance>STG-\[mvhost02\]</instance> <instance>STG-[mvhost01]</instance>

This should be changed to:

DEFAULT-ui.stg.bridged.2.2.XMS.3.rar\:\:<instance>STG-\\[mvhost02\\]</instance> <instance>STG-[mvhost01]</instance>

Special characters need to be escaped twice, as the first escape is removed by the interpreter looking for the delimiter on the line

Similarly, to search and replace with a backslash character "\", the latter will have to be escaped as such "\\". However the escaping character will also have to be escaped, which means that to insert a single "\" character, four backslashes, "\\\\", will be required.
