Ignore the lower or uppercase in regular expression.

Hi,

  Anyone can tell me how to ignore the lowercase or uppercase in skill code? And any operator before the match unit? Similar as 'i' in Perl, '?i' in Java.

  I want to match the height text and do a replace. rexMatchp( "^HT" text ). Sometime, the information for text is lowercase, but sometime it is uppercase. Except to use upperCase(text), if can I have other way. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jason

    Hi Jason,

    Assuming you're using IC610 or later, use pcreMatchp instead of the very old rexMatchp. This is more powerful (it's using the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions). Then  you can do:

    pcreMatchp("^HT" text pcreGenCompileOptBits(?caseLess t))

    Regards,

    Andrew.
