# Javascript RegExp - ignoreCase Property

## Description:

ignoreCase is a read-only boolean property of RegExp objects. It specifies whether a particular regular expression performs case-insensitive matchingi.e., whether it was created with the "i" attribute.

## Syntax:

    RegExpObject.ignoreCase

Here is the detail of parameters:

- NA

## Return Value:

Returns "TRUE" if the "i" modifier is set, "FALSE" otherwise.

## Example:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>JavaScript RegExp ignoreCase Property</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
       var re = new RegExp( "string" );

       if ( re.ignoreCase ){
          document.write("Test1-ignoreCase property is set");
       }else{
         document.write("Test1-ignoreCase property is not set");
       }
       re = new RegExp( "string", "i" );

       if ( re.ignoreCase ){
          document.write("<br/>Test2-ignoreCase property is set");
       }else{
         document.write("<br/>Test2-ignoreCase property is not set");
       }
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

This will produce following result:

    Test1 - ignoreCase property is not set
    Test2 - ignoreCase property is set

To understand it in better way you can Try it yourself.
