I want to find element on web page that has my string variable in it. But I don't want it to be case sensitive. So I would want to use Regular expression. How do I do that?

I tried this as an example:

That (?i) is supposed to not care for case sensitivity. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @eetuRobo

if you remove the (?i) from regex expression value, it would work

see below

i need click Start button

selector is like below

Now if change the comparision mode for text to regular expression match like below

It will still able to detect the button 🙂

When using variables, make sure to enable the Text editor button once regex is enabled as i shared above !

else with variables it won't work without enabling text editor

Hope it helps !

Thank you Nived_Nambiar!

I thought you would have to specify what you want the regex to do but I guess you don't as long as you just want it to find the text in what ever case.
