partial string matches	Can't Post

Hi

I am sure this must be a simple question, but I have search the forums and looked in a couple of books

I can do a simple search and return the results where the search string matches exactly the target string, however how do I do a partial search or a search that ignores the case.

E.g., if I search for "Zap" the results would be

The Zap
zap
the zap

Thanks

Rob

To do a match case-insensitively, use the /i modifier on the regex.

Code

if ("hello" =~ /HE/i) { ... }  # matches
