### Terraform Version ```shell Terraform v1.9.8 on windows_amd64 ``` ### Terraform Configuration Files ```terraform output test1 { value = replace("test.com", "\.", "-") } output test2 { value = replace("test.com", "\\.", "-") } ``` ### Expected Behavior Literal dot should be replaced by hyphen ``` Changes to Outputs: + test = "test-com" ``` ### Actual Behavior test1: ``` │ Error: Invalid escape sequence │ │ on main.tf line 2, in output "test": │ 2: value = replace("test.com", "\.", "-") │ │ The symbol "." is not a valid escape sequence selector. ``` test2: ``` Changes to Outputs: + test = "test.com" ``` ### Additional Context If I add escape sequences to the original string, then I get the expected results: ``` output test3 { value = replace("test\\.com", "\\.", "-") } ``` Result: ``` Changes to Outputs: + test = "test-com" ``` But, I can't do this, because I'm not using string literals, I'm accessing a string attribute from a resource. ``` output test4 { value = replace(some_resource.attribute, "\\.", "-") } ``` This also does not work ``` output test5 { value = replace("test.com", "[^a-zA-Z0-9]", "-") } ```
