Patterns and Case Matching

Unlike regular expressions, pattern matching is case insensitive. To force case sensitivity, you can add the named argument MATCHCASE to either Pat Match() or Regex Match(). For example:

string = "abcABC";
 
result = Regex Match( string, Pat Regex( "[aBc]+" ) );
Show( string, result );

/ *returns string = "abcABC"

result = {"abcABC"}*/

result = Regex Match( string, Pat Regex( "[cba]+" ), NULL, MATCHCASE );
Show( string, result );

/* returns string = "abcABC"

result = {"abc"}*/
