rex.flags

flag_table = rex.flags ()

This returns a table of PCRE flags. You can index into this to get various compile and runtime flags.

The following are valid compile-time flags:

• ANCHORED
• CASELESS
• DOLLAR_ENDONLY
• DOTALL
• EXTENDED
• EXTRA
• MULTILINE
• NO_AUTO_CAPTURE
• UNGREEDY
• UTF8

The following are valid execution-time flags:

• ANCHORED
• NOTBOL
• NOTEOL
• NOTEMPTY

An example of using the flags would be:

re = rex.new ("(.+) goes (.+)", rex.flags ().CASELESS)

This would make a caseless regular expression.
