regular expression -- caseless

[fpefpe]

Hello -- Is there a way to specify in a regular expression template
that the match is case neutral?

with grep there is the -i switch and PCRE does allow switches to be
specified with the template. My goal is to match

foo

in a string -- I don't case how its cased

That depends on the regex syntax you've chosen (OPTION). With the PERL syntax,

v:\> echo %@regex[(?i)foo,FOO]
1

v:\> echo %@regex[foo,FOO]
0

Thanks -- That is the way the PCRE api works too

Thanks for that tip, something I was looking for and works nicely. But, Is that PERL? Looks like Onigmo.
