Hello, libpcre3 is known to be very fast, not sure you will notice any performance impact because of runtime regular expression parsing, everything being done in memory and for sure not with simple expressions like "(?i)^test$". This happens because the parameters can have variables, which are first evaluated, then used for matching.
Anyhow, a variant of the function with static parameter for regex can be added easily. On the other hand, you seem to compare with a full value, so you can just use string comparison functions: * https://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/stable/modules/textops.html#textops.f.cmp_str Cheers, Daniel On 13.10.20 15:22, Marat Gareev wrote: > Henning, Daniel, > thanks for your replies. > > 1.
