Hi Laurent,
Thank you! Another weapon in my tool box!
Question: this confused me when I first look at it. I am use to
the ":x" command being outside the first "/". For instance
s:g/
What are the rules for what goes inside and what goes outside?
Also, do y have a link to what the various ":x" commands are
that I can use?
I generally prefer to use "contains", "starts-with", and
"ends-with" when the string is full of trash that regex needs
to escape. For example:
if $Line.contains( '<h1>HWiNFO <span class="modraDownload2">' &
'</span>
Installer</h1>' ) {
Many thanks,
-T

Hi Todd,
you may use:
say "Yes" if "2018 xJul 7" ~~ /:i jul/;
or:
say "Yes" if "2018 xJul 7" ~~ m:i/jul/;
In the second case, the adverb will apply to the whole pattern. In the
first case, it will start to apply from the point where the adverb is.
In this specific example, those two code samples will be equivalent
since the adverb is at the beginning of the pattern. But it would make a
difference if the adverb is somewhere else within the pattern. For
example, this would fail:
say "Yes" if "2018 xJul 7" ~~ m:i/j :i ul/;
because the ignore case adverb would apply only on the 'ul' characters
of the pattern, but not on the 'j'.

Cheers,
Laurent.

Thank you! I will be copying down the section on adverbs
into my documentation.
Question, what the heck is
my $rx1 = rx:i/a/;
Are they talking over beginner's heads again?
