I did not realize that PCRE does not have a way to turn off case sensitivity, This puts some kinks into my plan, I will need to come up with another way of handling "ignore case" perhaps a global setting where this can be toggled off for those who need it.

In this type of situation I imagine that 9 out of 10 times you would not want case sensitive matching, I am not even sure if I can come up a good example where I'd need case sensitivity.

The ideal solution would be to make this part of the entry settings but this is going to require some design changes. Something I am not sure if I can justify at this time.

It took me some time to figure out the proper way to ignore case with PCRE, I am not 100% sure if this is correct.

Code:

rx (?i).*-(?!publisher1)
