Is there a way to escape characters in Groovy regexes?

Question

Are there any escaped characters in Groovy regexes? It would be nice to write a single backslash instead of 4.

You don't need four of them. Two should be enough. for example to match anything with a backslash.

def file = /C:\geo\file.txt/
assert file =~ /.*\\.*/
