How to I form an expression where IF the variable contains the word "cloud" (REGEX) then the condition can be true or false?

awdescription=matches(weather, "(?I).*rain.*")

...is what expression fills in for me when I choose the variable supplied by the auto weather plugin. How do I create a matches regex?

I really wish I understood all the stuff better, sorry for asking these questions that probably seem pretty straight forward to you guys, I do attempt to search all this stuff out before I ask on forums. I'm porting projects over from tasker and soon it will be all done then ill share some nice flows with everyone.

Hi,

You could also use function contains(weather, "cloud") or contains(toLowerCase(weather), "cloud") in a condition Expression to execute different actions in the flow.
A regular expression could look like this: matches(weather, '(?i).*cloud.*') (note that the i to switch the regex to case insensitive mode needs to be written in lower case).

Thanks again Martin!
