I didn't read the docs and tried the following code.
regex = re.compile(r"\A" + re.escape(old_str) + r"\Z",
opts.ignore_case and re.I or 0)

Hi,
The following code snippet is from /usr/bin/rpl. I would like the it
to match a word, for example, "abc" in ":abc:". But the current one
would not match "abc" in ":abc:". I tried to modify it myself. Would
