filter list_of_files with REGEX xyz?

[Ralph DiMola]

(?i) turn off case sensitivity for everything after it in the regex expression. (?-i) turns it back on again for everything after it.

RegEx pattern
Sorry, I was just giving the pattern, not the syntax.
Also, it will probably be case sensitive in that format. I won’t be able to test until later. I don’t recall the case insensitive flag off hand.

Brian
