Dear List,
Okay, I am pretty sure there are no copyrights here.
I had a problem where I had to read through a YUGE log file and
pick out those entries with a particular name in it. Problem"
it was the same name but three different capitalizations and
the the capitalization was a moving target. I couldn't count
on it staying the same.
and `i/test/` or `:i/test/` did not work.
One of the guys helped me out with this on the chat line.
`m:i/test/` did the trick, and forgave me for not actually
doing a match. He said one of the benefits of "m" was that
it allows for more things like "i" to be included
Here is a test one liner:
$ perl6 -e 'my $x="abcDEF"; if ( $x ~~ m:i/abcdef/ ) { say "yes";} else
{ say "no";}'
yes
-T
