Name

RegExp.IgnoreCase Property

Data Subtype

Boolean

Description

Determines whether the search for a pattern string is case sensitive.

Rules at a Glance

A search will not ignore case when attempting to locate the pattern string in a search string; that is, the default value of the IgnoreCase property is False. If you don’t want the search to be case-sensitive, you must set the IgnoreCase property to True.

Programming Tips & Gotchas

If your search string does not attempt to match any alphabetic charcters (A-Z and a-z), you can safely ignore the setting of IgnoreCase, since it won’t affect the results of your search.
