The quoted sequence is a subpattern where pattern metacharacters are treated literally. A quoted sequence starts with \Q and ends with \E. For example:
\Q\.^*+?[]|(){}\E - matches \.^*+?[]|(){}
The regular expression to capture the main() method in Java class is:
\Qmain(String args[])\E
\Q...\E - Quoted sequence to keep () [] as is
