Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Documentation

[syntax] (regex-case EXPRESSION CLAUSE ...)

Evaluates EXPRESSION and executes the body of the first CLAUSE that matches. Each CLAUSE should be of the form:

 (REGEX LAMBDA-LIST BODY ...)

The variables in LAMBDA-LIST are bound to the results of evaluating the expression

 (string-match REGEX STRING)

The last CLAUSE may also be

 (else BODY ...)

If no CLAUSE matches, the form returns an undefined result.

Examples

 
(use regex-case)

(define (test x)
  (regex-case x
    ["[a-z]+" _ 'word]
    ["[0-9]+" _ 'num]
    [else 'nothing] ) )

(test "42")
 => 'num

(test "hello")
 => 'word

(test "???")
 => 'nothing
(use regex-case)

(regex-case "one23four"
  ["[a-z]+([0-9]+).*" (all num) num] )
 => "23"
(use regex-case)

(regex-case "http:www.foo.com/index.html" 
  ["([a-z]+):([a-z0-9.-]+)(/(.*))?" (_ . parts) parts])
 => ("http" "www.foo.com" "/index.html" "index.html")
