Examples and Usage

see also CommonRegexSpec.

scala> import commonregex._
import commonregex._

scala> val text = """John, please get that article
     | on www.linkedin.com or https://google.com or 192.67.23.222
     | to me by 5:00PM on Jan 9th 2012 or 4:00 am on 01/09/12
     | would be ideal, actually. If you have any questions,
     | you can reach my associate at
     | (012)-345-6789 or (230) 241 2422 or associative@mail.com.
     | """.stripMargin

scala> val commonRegex = CommonRegex(text)

// every CommonRegex's method returns Seq.
scala> commonRegex.times            //=> res0: Seq[String] = Stream(5:00PM, ?)
scala> commonRegex.times.toList     //=> res1: List[String] = List(5:00PM, 4:00 am)
scala> commonRegex.dates            //=> res2: Seq[String] = Stream(Jan 9th 2012, ?)
scala> commonRegex.dates.toList     //=> res3: List[String] = List(Jan 9th 2012, 01/09/12)
scala> commonRegex.links            //=> res4: Seq[String] = Stream(www.linkedin.com, ?)
scala> commonRegex.links.toList     //=> res5: List[String] = List(www.linkedin.com, https://google.com)
scala> commonRegex.phones           //=> res6: Seq[String] = Stream((012)-345-6789, ?)
scala> commonRegex.phones.toList    //=> res7: List[String] = List((012)-345-6789, (230) 241 2422)
scala> commonRegex.emails           //=> res8: Seq[String] = Stream(associative@mail.com, ?)
scala> commonRegex.emails.toList    //=> res9: List[String] = List(associative@mail.com)

CommonRegex also provides scale's Regex object. So, you can use various methods on Regex for example findAllIn.

scala> CommonRegex.time.findAllIn(text).toList      //=> res12: List[String] = List(5:00PM, 4:00 am)
scala> CommonRegex.date.findAllIn(text).toList      //=> res13: List[String] = List(Jan 9th 2012, 01/09/12)
scala> CommonRegex.link.findAllIn(text).toList      //=> res14: List[String] = List(www.linkedin.com, https://google.com)
scala> CommonRegex.phone.findAllIn(text).toList     //=> res15: List[String] = List((012)-345-6789, (230) 241 2422)
scala> CommonRegex.email.findAllIn(text).toList     //=> res16: List[String] = List(associative@mail.com)
