Regex_Match (string, regex)
Result Type: Boolean
Definition: Returns 1 if the string matches the regular expression regex. This function calls through to the standard C++ regex_match function using the default regex mode. Matching is case-sensitive, and the regular expression must match the entire string.
In v9.1.3 and later, you can put (?i) at the start of your regular expression to request case-insensitive matching.
Examples: Regex_Match("foo.txt", ".*\.(txt|TXT)")
returns 1.
Availability: v8.1.7 and later.
Warning: Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions". Now they have two problems —Jamie Zawinski (attributed)
If you just want a simple, case-insensitive text match, use the = or == operators (the former may have an @ wildcard at the end, or start and end; the latter ignores @ wildcards).
