Hello,  
I am a newbie to Clover and I was wondering whether there was a case insensitive version of == for string values (for transformation functions and joiners) ?  
I’ve made it work using a regexp and (?i) but isn’t there anything more straightforward ?  
Thanks !

Hello,  
I’ve created an issue with your request ([http://bug.cloveretl.org/view.php?id=4093](http://bug.cloveretl.org/view.php?id=4093)) in our bug tracking system.  
In the time being you need to use regex, [lowercase](http://wiki.cloveretl.org/doku.php?id=transf%5Flang%5Ffunctions#lowercase)/[uppercase](http://wiki.cloveretl.org/doku.php?id=transf%5Flang%5Ffunctions#uppercase) or [edit\_distance](http://wiki.cloveretl.org/doku.php?id=transf%5Flang%5Ffunctions#edit%5Fdistance) with 3 level strength and 0 maximum difference function.
