Hi,
I need to match the following characters in a pattern ` < >  { }  ; "

I tried to do it through this method : Pattern.compile(pattern1 |
pattern2);
Like this:
Pattern pacxFTPF11 = Pattern.compile("`|<|>|{|}|;|\"|\\|");
Matcher macxFTPF11 = pacxFTPF11.matcher(acxFTPFile);

But it is throwing exceptions:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException:
Illegal repet
ition near index 5
`|<|>|{|}|;|"|\|
    ^

How to solve this problem?
