This may be a more general PCRE question, but is it possible to include
"modifers" in the regexes?
For example, let's say that I want to set a class if the string
"cfengine" appears in a file, but I don't care about case sensitivity.
classes:
'good_file' expression => regline('^.*cfengine.*', ${testfile});
I could write out all 265 permutations of "cfengine"
capitialization ("cfengine", "Cfengine", "cFengine", "CFengine", etc),
but that's pretty inefficient.
I could also write '^.*[cC][fF][eE][nN][gG][iI][nN][eE].*', but that's
just ugly. :)
What I'd like is a simple way to add a "i" modifier to the regex so that
I can write the equivilent of:
/^.*cfengine.*/i
