I'm using Ruby 2.4. I want to find consecutive tokens in my array of strings that match a regular expression. So if my regex is
/\p{L}/
and my array is
["2917", "m", "neatty", "fff", "46", "u", "28", "56"]
I would want the result to be
["m", "neatty", "fff"]
However, my attempt to do this has failed (notice the "neatty" token is repeated) ...
2.4.0 :020 > arr = ["2917", "m", "neatty", "fff", "46", "u", "28", "56"]
=> ["2917", "m", "neatty", "fff", "46", "u", "28", "56"]
2.4.0 :021 > arr.each_cons(2).select{|pair| pair.all?{|elem| elem =~ /\p{L}/ }}.flatten
=> ["m", "neatty", "neatty", "fff"]
How do I find consecutive tokens in an array that match a pattern that also don't repeat?
