Can we ignore case when doing ballerina regexp matches

I am trying to match regardless of case.

regexp:RegExp pattern = re `(ax|test)is$`;

Should match both Axis or axis.

>Solution :

Use an inline modifier to your regex pattern:

regexp:regexp pattern = re `(?i)(ax|test)is$`;

The (?i) at the beginning does the trick of turning on case-insensitive mode for the entire pattern. Your code would functions like:

1. (?i): Sets case-insensitive matching.
2. (ax|test): This group matches either "ax" or "test".
3. is$: Ensures the match ends with the letters "is".

An example mnight be:

import ballerina/regexp;

public function main() {
    regexp:regexp pattern = re `(?i)(ax|test)is$`;

    string word1 = "Axis";
    string word2 = "axis";
    string word3 = "TestiS";

    if (pattern.isMatch(word1)) {
        io:println("Match: " + word1);
    }

    if (pattern.isMatch(word2)) {
        io:println("Match: " + word2);
    }

    if (pattern.isMatch(word3)) {
        io:println("Match: " + word3);
    }
}

This code will output:

Match: Axis
Match: axis
Match: TestiS
