How to match a substring in a string, ignoring case

Question

I\'m looking for ignore case string comparison in Python.

I tried with:

if line.find(\'mandy\') >= 0:

but no success for ignore

Answer 1

import re
if re.search('(?i)Mandy Pande:', line):
    ...

Answer 2

There's another post here. Try looking at this.

BTW, you're looking for the .lower() method:

string1 = "hi"
string2 = "HI"
if string1.lower() == string2.lower():
    print "Equals!"
else:
    print "Different!"
