#61942
This PR improves the handling of this case:
If the compiled regex has no flags, we extract the pattern string and proceed.
If the regex includes flags, a clear NotImplementedError is raised with guidance.
This avoids a confusing low-level PyArrow TypeError and ensures consistent behavior with non-Arrow strings.
Please , suggest feedback if my approach is not correct . I would love to improve and fix this.
