/~=

       data-expression-1  ~=  data-expression-2
       data-expression-1  ~~  data-expression-2

          The ~= and ~~ operators  (not  available  on  all  systems)  perform
          extended  regex(7)  matching  of the values of two data expressions,
          returning true if  data-expression-1  matches  against  the  regular
          expression  evaluated  by data-expression-2, or false if it does not
          match or encounters some error.  If either the left-hand side or the
          right-hand side are null, the result is also false.  The ~~ operator
          differs from the ~= operator in that it is case-insensitive.
