Class
    Foam::regExp
 
Description
    Wrapper around POSIX extended regular expressions.
 
    The PCRE '(?i)' extension is provided to compile the regular expression
    as being case-insensitive.
 
SeeAlso
    The manpage regex(7) for more information about POSIX regular expressions.
    These differ somewhat from \c Perl and \c sed regular expressions.
