Good day Guys,
Please how can i perform case-insensitive matching on text that i read from the user input? i noticed that this code snippet
"context": {
"number_extract": "<? input.text.extract('my name is ([\\w\\s\\w]*)', 1) ?>"
}
will not match if the user enters My name is .......
Also please can anyone also suggest a good resource that i can use for using regular expression in the Dialog screen.
Thank you very much.

For regex you can do
input.text.matches( '[0-9]+' )
I didnt check but you can probably do
input.text.equalsIgnoreCase( 'xxxxx' )
You can also do
input.text.toUpperCase().matches(YOUR_REGEX)
Finally You can use the following (?i) for case insensitivity. See https://blogs.oracle.com/xuemingshen/entry/case_insensitive_matching_in_java
