RegEx flags on iOS 13 Shortcuts

1

Hey guys,
Is it possible somehow to use flags in “match text” action on iOS 13 Shortcuts ?
i.e: /(\d[2])/g or /i?

Yes. Shortcuts uses the ICU flavor of regex. The flags are in the table Regular Expression Operators

How do you invoke these flags in Shortcuts?

Here’s an example of using the multiline flag.

Thanks! The trick is to put the flag at the beginning of the expression, not the end.
