In order to adjust the behaviour of the regex commands, certain flags can be set when using them. Flags are specified at the end of the pattern and start with /. Flags need to be lowercase. If there are any non-flag characters in the flags they will be ignored and considered part of the pattern itself.
"I'm a coOkIe clicker" regexMatch ".*cookie.*/gio"// Flag g, i and o are set
Flag | Description (short) | Description (detailed) |
---|---|---|
g | Global | Only relevant for regexReplace and regexFind. Missing global flag sets format_first_only flag (source) and only replaces first occurrence with regexReplace and only returns first element with regexFind |
i | Case insensitive | - |
n | noSubs | |
o | Optimize | Optimize pattern, pattern creation is slower, but will execute more efficiently (source) |
