Regexp::Assemble takes an arbitrary number of regular expressions and
|
||
|
|
assembles them into a single regular expression (or RE) that matches all
|
||
|
|
that the individual REs match.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a result, instead of having a large list of expressions to loop over,
|
||
|
|
a target string only needs to be tested against one expression. This is
|
||
|
|
interesting when you have several thousand patterns to deal with.
|
||
|
|
Serious effort is made to produce the smallest pattern possible.
