Case sensitive "hears"

[davedelong]

It'd be nice if there were a way to make .hears have a case sensitive option. That way our bot can be a proper grammar nazi. 😈

You can do this with a regex.

"(?=SomETHinG).*(?=FooBar)" // matches exactly
"/(?=SomETHinG).*(?=FooBar)/i" // matches also something and foobar...

I tried controller.hears("/help/i", ...
it did not work

I have to use controller.hears(['^help', '^Help'],...

What am I doing wrong?

@mvaragnat you can do two things.

1. If you want the bot the respond to any form of 'help' just use .hears(['help'])
2. If 1 isn't suitable, use a regex (see my previous answer)

In you case option 1 seems ok.

PS:
If you have multiple hear() functions with 'help' you need to use a regex too.
