Hi Folks,
So, I have a search string, for example "rabble". And a map which
contains keyword keys, and vectors of strings as values:
(def players
{
:amit ["a" "b" "c"]
:roger ["rabble" "x" "y"]
})
Is there an idiomatic way to search for "rabble" in the vector values,
then return the keyword that matches it? In this example, "rabble"
would match :roger. "b" would match :amit.
Currently, I'm doing a "some" which has a predicate function which
contains another "some" seems awkward to me, but works:
Assuming the search-str has to be transformed in some way (that I'm
leaving out here), using:
(defn munge-str [search-str]
... returns a string...)
(defn key-from-match [search-str]
(let [key-of-str? (fn [entry-pair]
(if (some #(= (munge-str search-str) %)
(val entry-pair))
(key entry-pair)))]
(some key-of-str? (players))
))
Thanks for any suggestions.
Kyle
