I can use the below code to search if the text str
contains any or both of the keys
, i.e.if it contains “MS” or
“dynamics” or
both of them
package main
import (
"fmt"
"regexp"
)
func main() {
keys := []string{"MS", "dynamics"}
keysReg := fmt.Sprintf("(%s %s)|%s|%s", keys[0], keys[1], keys[0], keys[1]) // => "(MS dynamics)|MS|dynamics"
fmt.Println(keysReg)
str := "What is MS dynamics, is it a product from MS?"
re := regexp.MustCompile(`(?i)` + keysReg)
matches := re.FindAllString(str, -1)
fmt.Println("We found", len(matches), "matches, that are:", matches)
}
I want the user to enter his phrase, so I trim unwanted words and characters, then doing the search as per above.
Let’s say the user input was: This,is,a,delimited,string
and I need to build the keys
variable dynamically to be (delimited string)|delimited|string
so that I can search for my variable str
for all the matches, so I wrote the below:
s := "This,is,a,delimited,string"
t := regexp.MustCompile(`(?i),|\.|this|is|a`) // backticks are used here to contain the expression, (?i) for case insensetive
v := t.Split(s, -1)
fmt.Println(len(v))
fmt.Println(v)
But I got the output as:
8
[ delimited string]
What is the wrong part in my cleaning of the input text, I’m expecting the output to be:
2
[delimited string]
Here is my playground
