SplitFilt

Utility for split the content of a textfile given a filepath, with the posibility of filter splitted items given a string (or an array of strings) and keeping separator/delimeter in results if desired.

Methods

• splitText(filepath [, options]) Separator by default is carriage return.

• splitPhrases(filepath [, options]) Separator is always a dot, trim every 'phrase' and preserve dot.

• splitTextAsync(filepath [, options]) Same than splitText, but returns a promise.

• splitPhrasesAsync(filepath [, options]) Same than splitPhrases, but returns a promise.

All of them will return an array.

Options

An object with properties (all of them optionals):

• separator: String or regular expression to split the text. By default, a carriage return in splitText and a dot in splitPhrases.
• containing: Single string or an array of strings to filter the splitted items.
• insensitive: Boolean value to determine if filter must be case insensitive or not (true by default).
• keepsSeparator: Boolean value to determine if splitted results maintain the separator (false by default).

Examples:

const splitfilt = require('splitfilt');

const filePath = '/texts/someFile.txt';
const options = {
  containing: ['something', 'other'],
  separator: ' - ',
  insensitive: false,
  keepsSeparator: true
};

splitfilt.splitTextAsync(filePath, options)
.then(console.log);

const phrasesWithHello = splitfilt.splitPhrases('/texts/someFile.txt', {
  containing: 'Hello',
  insensitive: false
  });
