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

Thank you!
$ perl6 -e 'my $x="abcDEF"; if ( $x ~~ /:i abcdef/ ) { say "yes";} else
{say "no";}'
yes
I figure out why I could not get that to work. I kept
typo'ing "1" for "i". Maybe it was leftover habit from
high school typing class where a "1" and and "i" were the
same thing.
:'(
What, that was "1" and "l". I am losing it.
