Do A Case Insensitive RexEx Search In Python
Use the `re.IGNORECASE`` flag to do case insenstive searches. For example, here's the same search with and without it:
Code
import re
alfa = re.search('test', 'TeSt')
bravo = re.search('test', 'TeSt', re.IGNORECASE)
print(alfa)
print(bravo)
Results
None
Notes
-
When doing a `.sub()`, the `flags` key should be called explicietly like:
re.sub('test', 'TeSt', 'source value', flags=re.IGNORECASE)
