# parsey
Parsey is a simple class to match a string with a pattern and retrieve data from it. It takes a string, a pattern, and a hash of regular expressions (as strings). The pattern is filled with the regular expressions and then that is matched to the string given.
The pattern uses {} to surround the name of the regex it should be replaced with. You can also use <> to surround parts of the pattern that are optional, though these obviously must be nested properly.
## Install
(sudo) gem install parsey
## Example
partials = {'folder' => '([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)',
'file-name' => '([a-zA-Z0-9_ -]+)',
'ext' => '(txt|jpg|png)'}
Parsey.parse('my-folder/my file.txt', '{folder}/{file-name}.{ext}', partials)
#=> {"folder"=>"my-folder", "file-name"=>"my file", "ext"=>"txt"}
Parsey.parse('my file.txt', '<{folder}/>{file-name}.{ext}', partials)
#=> {"file-name"=>"my file", "ext"=>"txt"}
