Fun with .match

match.js

var fs = require('fs');
var assert = require("assert");

// Example 1 ----------------------------------------- //

var myDomain = "www.nhunzaker.com/this_article";

assert( myDomain.match("nhunzaker.com") );


// Example 2 ----------------------------------------- //

var myString = "Hello, world! My name is Nate Hunzaker!";
var name = myString.match(/My name is (.*) (.*)!/);

assert.equal(name[1], "Nate");
assert.equal(name[2], "Hunzaker");


// Example 3 ----------------------------------------- //

var story = fs.readFileSync("wotw.txt").toString();

var pattern = "(.*)\\:(.*)\n";
var lines = story.match(new RegExp(pattern, "g") );
var data = {};

lines.forEach(function(line) {
    var match = line.match( new RegExp(pattern) );

    if (match) {
        var key = match[1].toLowerCase();
        var value = match[2].trim();
        data[key] = value;
    }

});

assert.equal(data.title, "The War of the Worlds");
assert.equal(data.author, "H.G. Wells");
assert.equal(data.body.substring(0, 12), "No one would");

console.log("Good to go!");
