An ambitious attempt at a Ruby Regex DSL

ExcExp

ExcExp is an ambitious attempt at constructing a regular expression DSL. Unfortunately, most regular expressions are write-only. This project aims to fix that.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'exc_exp'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install exc_exp

Usage

A sample usage would be as follows:

exc_exp = ExcExp.build do
  any_number { matching 'ExcExp' }
end

"ExcExp".match exc_exp.to_regex #=> #<MatchData "ExcExp">
exc_exp.match "ExcExp" #=> #<MatchData "ExcExp">
