As I discovered from this similar post  ignorecase in AWK   on old versions of awk  such as on vanilla Mac OS X   you may need to use  tolower  0     pattern      IGNORECASE or   i  or  pattern i will either generate an error or return true for every line

The i flag is normally used for case insensitivity  You don t give a language here  but it ll probably be something like  G ab    i or    i G ab

Depends on implementation but I would use    i G a-b     VARIATIONS      i  case-insensitive mode ON       -i  case-insensitive mode OFF   Modern regex flavors allow you to apply modifiers to only part of the regular expression  If you insert the modifier   im  in the middle of the regex then the modifier only applies to the part of the regex to the right of the modifier  With these flavors  you can turn off modes by preceding them with a minus sign   -i     Description is from the page  https   www regular-expressions info modifiers html

Assuming you want the whole regex to ignore case  you should look for the i flag  Nearly all regex engines support it    G a-b    i  string match  G a-b       i     Check the documentation for your language platform tool to find how the matching modes are specified   If you want only part of the regex to be case insensitive  as my original answer presumed   then you have two options    Use the   i  and  optionally    -i  mode modifiers     i G a-b   -i     Put all the variations  i e  lowercase and uppercase  in the regex - useful if mode modifiers are not supported    gG  a-bA-B       One last note  if you re dealing with Unicode characters besides ASCII  check whether or not your regex engine properly supports them

JavaScript If you want to make it case insensitive just add i at the end of regex   Test  match   A-Z  gi    Returns   quot T quot    quot e quot    quot s quot    quot t quot   Without i  Test  match   A-Z  g    Returns   quot T quot
