This library allows you to pass multiple regular expressions and a string and get values back.

Let's say you have a text that is:

Del 5 av 6. Shakespeare är mycket nöjd med sin senaste pjäs, Så tuktas en argbigga. Men av någon anledning uppskattas inte berättelsen om hur en stark kvinna förnedras av en man av kvinnorna i Shakespeares närhet.Originaltitel: Upstart Crow.Produktion: BBC 2017.

First we would split the text into an array based on\n and. so that we can loop over the long text, as our matches only returns the first match back.

Then you would do:

StringMatcher.new()|>StringMatcher.add_regexp(~r/Del\s+(?<episode_num>[0-9]+?)\s+av\s+(?<of_episodes>[0-9]+?)/i,%{})|>StringMatcher.add_regexp(~r/Originaltitel: (?<original_title>.*)\./i,%{})|>StringMatcher.add_regexp(~r/Produktion: (?<production_company>.*?) (?<production_year>[0-9]+)\./i,%{})|>StringMatcher.match_captures(string)

This should return a tuple with a map. The map is returned value of the regular expressions.If no match is found you will receive{:error, "no match"}

Ifavailable in Hex, the package can be installedby addingstring_matcher to your list of dependencies inmix.exs:

defdepsdo[{:string_matcher,"~> 0.1.0"}]end

Documentation can be generated withExDocand published onHexDocs. Once published, the docs canbe found athttps://hexdocs.pm/string_matcher.

Currently the tests are failing for some reason, the library is working though and is stable.It's used in production.
