re.IGNORECASE and re.VERBOSE

[Jeremy]

I am using regular expressions and I would like to use both
re.IGNORECASE and re.VERBOSE options. I want to do something like the
following (which doesn't work):

matsearch = r'''^\ {0,4}([mM]\d+) '''
MatSearch = re.compile(matsearch, re.VERBOSE, re.IGNORECASE)

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeremy

These flags are combined using the bit-wise OR operator.

re.compile(matsearch, re.VERBOSE|re.IGNORECASE)
