That's because your edit tells it to fail in that situation.
(I assume you mean that the input was "Ms" rather than "ms".)

This is why it's important to show the actual input data that
causes the "failure".

Or just tell filePro to ignore case on the input data, by starting
the edit with "^".

I don't think so.  Were you using the same data, with the capital
"M"?

This is also why it's important to test using the same data as
your "real" data.
