Geedy tag matching and punctuation

[Morf]

Hello,

I've come across an issue with greedy tag matching and comma separation. The comma is included as part of the match so that multiple tags are combined into one match.

This is likely expected behaviour for a tag such as #Place but is there a way to force the comma as a word separator? Using .normalize() doesn't seem to help it just removes the comma from the match.

Thank you

hey, yeah good question. There are a few ways you could do this.

You could split by whatever, then filter then down:

let parts = doc.splitAfter('@hasComma');
parts = parts.if('#Place')

I sometimes do a aggressive split and then join em up, which is probably a weirder process:

let parts = doc.split('#Place')
parts= parts.joinIf('#Place && @hasComma', '#Place')

dunno!
cheers

Thank you, .splitAfter() seems to do what we need.
