Regex_search ignoring ignorecase

Configuration
1

I’m using the following code to convert strings to emoticons on my Apple Watch.
This code has worked a few years ago, but now it no longer does.

I’m using the Template tab in the Developer tools.

{% if not is_state('sensor.recycleapp_tomorrow', 'None') %} 
{{ ['Ma ','Di ','Wo ','Do ','Vr ','Za ','Zo '][(now().weekday()+1)%7] +  states('sensor.recycleapp_tomorrow') | regex_replace(find='pmd', replace='🥫', ignorecase=False)  | regex_replace(find='restafval', replace='🗑️', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='papier', replace='📰', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='glas', replace='🍾', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='kerstbomen', replace='🎄', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find=',', replace='', ignorecase=False) }} 
{% elif not is_state('sensor.recycleapp_today', 'None') %} 
{{ ['Ma ','Di ','Wo ','Do ','Vr ','Za ','Zo '][now().weekday()] + states('sensor.recycleapp_today') | regex_replace(find='pmd', replace='🥫', ignorecase=False)  | regex_replace(find='restafval', replace='🗑️', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='papier', replace='📰', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='glas', replace='🍾', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='kerstbomen', replace='🎄', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find=',', replace='', ignorecase=False) }} 
{% endif %}

The result is the following:

So it’s definitely not find-replacing.

However, when I change the code to resemble the case of the sensor states:

{% if not is_state('sensor.recycleapp_tomorrow', 'None') %} 
{{ ['Ma ','Di ','Wo ','Do ','Vr ','Za ','Zo '][(now().weekday()+1)%7] +  states('sensor.recycleapp_tomorrow') | regex_replace(find='PMD', replace='🥫', ignorecase=False)  | regex_replace(find='Restafval', replace='🗑️', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='Papier', replace='📰', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='Glas', replace='🍾', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='Kerstbomen', replace='🎄', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find=',', replace='', ignorecase=False) }} 
{% elif not is_state('sensor.recycleapp_today', 'None') %} 
{{ ['Ma ','Di ','Wo ','Do ','Vr ','Za ','Zo '][now().weekday()] + states('sensor.recycleapp_today') | regex_replace(find='PMD', replace='🥫', ignorecase=False)  | regex_replace(find='Restafval', replace='🗑️', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='Papier', replace='📰', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='Glas', replace='🍾', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find='Kerstbomen', replace='🎄', ignorecase=False) | regex_replace(find=',', replace='', ignorecase=False) }} 
{% endif %}

It is find-replacing.

Any suggestions on why the ignorecase is not working?

ignorecase=False means it must match the supplied string exactly. That means this will only match pmd and nothing else (it will not match Pmd, PMD, etc).

regex_replace(find='pmd', replace='🥫', ignorecase=False)

If you change it to ignorecase=True then it will match the supplied string regardless if the string’s letters are uppercase or lowercase.

I mixed up True/False.
Sorry, feeling stupid now :slight_smile:
