regex_key property

Indicates whether the searched key is regex. If true the searched key will be taken as regex and parsed. Otherwise the key will be parsed according to the rules in ms excel.

Remarks

Even though the search key has been specified as regex, it may be refactored according to specified FindOptions.look_at_type. For example, when the type is LookAtType.CONTAINS(this is the default value for this options), wildcards will be added at the beginning and end of the search key automatically to ensure the match will be checked as “contains”. In this case, the regular expressions will become more complex and the performance will also decrease. So, for performance consideration, if user has specified the exact rule for the regex, then there is no need to use FindOptions.look_at_type as additional constraint and user may set it as LookAtType.ENTIRE_CONTENT to get better performance.
