Elixir app to translate text into regex (including some bash)

Hey everyone,

I would like to share a repo I’ve been working on: GitHub - NickGowdy/pattern_to_regex_app: Elixir app that takes a sequence from command line and translates it to a regex.

This app is run through Bash to call an Elixir module which then returns a regex to be used by an external library. It’s a bit convoluted as it was a test for a company but it shows working with the memory stream, pattern matching, returning code from Elixir back to Bash script and translating different tokens to regex.

I hope this is useful/helpful for anyone who came across similar problems.

Nick
