Description

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

Syntax

object.IgnoreCase [= True | False ]

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"))
