Case-insensitive string match 1

[lorenzodv]

Hi.

How do I compare two strings in text mode (case-insensitively)?

For example:
('word' eq 'WorD')
is false, how can I make it return "true"

Thanks.

$word = "WorD";

$word =~ /^word$/i;


the i modifier makes it case insensitive. adam@aauser.com

Thanks!
I had already tried with regular expressions, but I did not put the ^ and $ characters, so it was matching even when $word just contained the pattern.
Now it works great.

you could also say:

"word" eq lc("WoRd");
