Regex: copy with ignoreCase

Hi!

String >> #asRegex return an instance of RxMatcher, as I tried. Now, I
would like to get an object that behaves exactly as the one I got from
asRegex, just that it ignores case (regardless whether it did or didn't
in the original object).

I understand it is not possible to get that object with existing API, is it?

Re: Regex: copy with ignoreCase

Hello,

Maybe what you’re looking for is String>>#asRegexIgnoringCase ?

'a+' asRegexIgnoringCase matches: 'aaaa'. "true"

'a+' asRegexIgnoringCase matches: 'AAAA'. "true"

Cheers,

Julien

No, I am looking at what I described (#copyWithIgnoreCase).

Re: Regex: copy with ignoreCase

I think there is not such method then.

Maybe it is possible to transform the RxMatcher to ignore case but it is not available out of the box apparently.

The #ignoreCase inst. var. provides no accessor, so it I think just modifying it to be true will not work.
