Regex and/or LaTeX

[Adrian Knoth <adi@drcomp.erfurt.thur.de>]

Hi!

I'm facing the problem to escape some special characters before
outputting them to a LaTeX-file, i.e. '&' should be replaced
by "\&".

There is no difficulty in implementing this directly, but in order
to avoid unnecessary work I ask if there is already a package which
provides all the LaTeX-functionality I might need. If not, perhaps
a sed-like function exists to perform something like this:
	sed -e 's/\([&%]\)/\\\1/g'
