How to ignore case when we use rexMatchp or rexExecute commands.

string -> the string you want to match
list -> the list you want to search through

rexCompile(lowerCase(string))
setof(x list rexExecute(loxerCase(x))

Thanks. That would really solve the current need.

But I foresee a problem, What if I want to use the single rexCompile (to
improve performance), in mixed mode, ie., sometimes with case sensitive
option and sometimes with ignore case.

I don't believe it's possible with a single compile

There is a plan to provide functions to do pattern matching based on PCRE. I
think this _might_ be in IC610. This will allow you to do the more powerful
kinds of extended regular expressions that perl allows.
