IgnoreCase Property (VBScript) 

Sets or returns a Boolean value that indicates if a pattern search is case-sensitive or not.


object.IgnoreCase [= True | False ]

Arguments

The object argument is always a RegExp object. The value of the IgnoreCase property is False if the search is case-sensitive, True if it is not. Default is False.

Remarks

The following code illustrates the use of the IgnoreCase property (change the value assigned to IgnoreCase property to see its effect):

Function RegExpTest(patrn, strng)

   Dim regEx, Match, Matches   ' Create variable.

   Set regEx = New RegExp   ' Create a regular expression.

   regEx.Pattern = patrn   ' Set pattern.

   regEx.IgnoreCase = True   ' Set case insensitivity.

   regEx.Global = True   ' Set global applicability.

   Set Matches = regEx.Execute(strng)   ' Execute search.

   For Each Match in Matches   ' Iterate Matches collection.

      RetStr = RetStr & "Match found at position "

      RetStr = RetStr & Match.FirstIndex & ". Match Value is '"

      RetStr = RetStr & Match.Value & "'." & vbCRLF

   Next

   RegExpTest = RetStr

End Function

MsgBox(RegExpTest("is.", "IS1 is2 IS3 is4"))
