DESCRIPTION

24       Flags for regular expression compilation
25
26
27     -  IgnoreCase  makes the expression case-insensitive (so "^a" would match
28     "All" and "all"
29
30
31     - Extended when set causes whitespace in the pattern  (other  than  in  a
32     character  class)  and characters between a '#' outside a character class
33     and the next newline character to be ignored. An escaping  backslash  can
34     be used to include a whitespace or '#' character as part of the pattern.
35
36
37     -  Multiline  changes the meaning of the start '^' and end '$' characters
38     so that as well as matching the start and end of the  string,  they  will
39     also  match immediately after and immediately before a newline '\n' char‐
40     acter.
41
42
43     - Ungreedy causes the expression and sub-expressions to find the smallest
44     possible  match, rather than the largest possible, unless a '?' is placed
45     after the expression. For example, the pattern "a.*a" would  match  "aca"
46     if ungreedy, and "acada" if greedy in the string "bacadaf".
