Hi Mike, I have no idea about performance implications, but you may use the regex modifier "(?i)" for ignore case: name ~ '(?)airport' Gerd ________________________________________ Von: mkgmap-dev <mkgmap-dev-bounces@lists.mkgmap.org.uk> im Auftrag von Mike Baggaley <mike@tvage.co.uk> Gesendet: Montag, 24.

I can't find anything in the style manual. I'm doing a lot of comparison of name fields such as name~'[Aa]irport' and think it would be much more efficient to first copy the name to an upper or lower case version and then do equality matches instead of the regular expression matches (this would also detect any oddly capitalized names such as AIrport). Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
