Semicolon in paramenters for UDF results in parsing error
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PIG-2507
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-2507
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.9.1, 0.8.0, 0.10
            Reporter: Vivek Padmanabhan


If I have a semicolon in the parameter passed to a udf, the script execution 
will fail with a parsing error.

a = load 'i1' as (f1:chararray);
c = foreach a generate REGEX_EXTRACT(f1, '.;' ,1);
dump c;

The above script fails with the below error 
[main] ERROR org.apache.pig.tools.grunt.Grunt - ERROR 1200: <file test.pig, 
line 3, column 0>  mismatched character '<EOF>' expecting '''

Even replacing the semicolon with Unicode \u003B results in the same error.
c = foreach a generate REGEX_EXTRACT(f1, '.\u003B',1);
