eparreno / ruby_regex Goto Github PK

I just pulled the GEM from RubyGems and some of my tests failed. I tested also against the Email regex from the source code and that worked. It took me 1 hour until I found this commit: c78eef0. This is not included in the GEM on RubyGems. Would be nice if you would release a new version a publish a new GEM on RubyGems.
Many Thanks.

Validation is one great usage of regex in ruby but I use searching more often than validation and there must be others that could take advantage of expanding the scope of this project.

Would you be interested in expanding the scope of this project to search for the defined regex in a larger context as well as the current usage of validation of a string only containing the desired pattern?

Since the current regex for each locates each on a line by itself it seems as if having an option to locate them in a line would be helpful. Nesting regex is quite simple in ruby and could be used to keep it dry.

email = /([\w\!\#$\%\&\'\*\+\-\/\=\?\^\`{\|\}\~]+\.)*[\w-]+@((((([a-z0-9]{1}[a-z0-9\-]{0,62}[a-z0-9]{1})|[a-z])\.)+[a-z]{2,6})|(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}(\:\d{1,5})?)/i
email_validation = /^#{email}&/

"this is my email: [email protected]"[email]
=> "[email protected]"

"[email protected]"[email_validation]
=> "[email protected]"

"this is my email: [email protected]"[email_validation]
=> nil

I can propose more some samples and examples of usage if necessary. Obviously some thought has to be invested in organization and backwards compatibility.

Thanks for your consideration!

Sometimes you want to validate that an attribute matches one (and only one) option out of a given list.

# You allow those options
options = %w(one two)

# You generate this Regex with a GREAT amount of human effort
/\Aone\z|\Atwo\z/.match('three')

This could be generated with a method:

RubyRegex::one_of_these(options)

# or maybe
RubyRegex::Generator::one_of_these(options)

=> /\Aone\z|\Atwo\z/

Would you consider adding regex generators, as such? If so, I could send a PR with this particular case.
