Description
Describe the bug
Strings in Data Prepper do not allow a $ character. This can be problematic for any situation, but especially when using a regex pattern to get the end of a line.
To Reproduce
Create a pipeline with a route like:
/some_field =~ "^prefix-[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$"
Run Data Prepper.
You will get some cryptic errors.
Caused by: org.opensearch.dataprepper.expression.ExceptionOverview: Multiple exceptions (37)
|-- org.antlr.v4.runtime.LexerNoViableAltException: null
at org.antlr.v4.runtime.atn.LexerATNSimulator.failOrAccept(LexerATNSimulator.java:309)
|-- org.antlr.v4.runtime.InputMismatchException: null
at org.antlr.v4.runtime.DefaultErrorStrategy.sync(DefaultErrorStrategy.java:270)
Change the regex by removing the $. The route works as expected.
Expected behavior
I should be able to run Data Prepper with $ in the strings.
