string-parse v0.0.1

string-parse 0.0.1

A small module for parsing strings.

The string parsing can consist of stripping certain characters, splitting the string on certain characters and handling blocks (for instance strings within quotes)

Example

Try on Tonic

var stringParse = require('./src/lib/string-parse.js');

/*var parseOptions = {
  blocks: {
    stopTag: {
      start: '</',
      stop: '>',
      split: ' ',
      ignoreEmpty: true
    },
    startTag: {
      start: '<',
      stop: '>',
      split: ' ',
      ignoreEmpty: true,
      blocks: {
        expression: { '@ref': '/blocks/expression' },
        quotes: {
          start: '\'',
          end: '\'',
          escapedStop: '\\\''
