This pull request fixes an IndexError in the update_template_file function. The error occurred when the code attempted to find and replace a value containing a '+' character in a template file. The '+' character was not being properly escaped when constructing the regular expression, leading to an incorrect search pattern and the IndexError when no match was found.

PR Summary

This Pull Request addresses a bug in the update_template_file function within the mintpy library, specifically targeting an IndexError that arises when special characters, such as the + symbol, are present in template values. The modification involves updating the list of special characters to include +, ensuring these characters are properly escaped in regular expressions used for searching and replacing values in template files. This fix is crucial for maintaining the robustness of the template update process, particularly when dealing with complex template values like bridging+phase_closure.

• Describe changes to function behavior and arguments in a comment below the function declaration.

Suggestion

To further enhance the robustness of the update_template_file function, consider implementing unit tests that cover various scenarios involving special characters in template values. This will help prevent similar issues in the future and ensure the function behaves as expected across different use cases.

LGTM. Thank you @MarritL.

I was able to reproduce the error while switching between bridging+phase_closure and bridging + phase_closure, so I added one more commit to ensure it works as well.

UPDATE: My commit above failed the test, I will revert this and merge your changes only for now, will try this later.
