match a string in rust

In Rust, there are several ways to match a string. One of the most common methods is pattern matching. Here is an example of how to match a specific string using pattern matching:

main.rs
fn main() {
    let my_string = "hello world";
    match my_string {
        "hello world" => println!("found hello world!"),
        _ => println!("not found!")
    }
}
170 chars
8 lines

In this example, we define a string my_string and then use pattern matching to determine if it matches the string "hello world". If it does, we print "found hello world!". If it doesn't match, we print "not found!".

Another way to match a string is to use regular expressions. Rust provides a regex crate that can be used to match strings using regular expressions. Here is an example of how to use the regex crate to match a string:

main.rs
extern crate regex;

use regex::Regex;

fn main() {
    let my_string = "hello world";
    let re = Regex::new("hello").unwrap();
    if re.is_match(my_string) {
        println!("found hello!");
    } else {
        println!("not found!");
    }
}

14 lines

In this example, we first import the regex crate and then create a regular expression that matches the string "hello". We then use the is_match method to determine if my_string matches the regular expression. If it matches, we print "found hello!". If it doesn't match, we print "not found!".

There are also many other algorithms and techniques that can be used to match strings in Rust, depending on the specific use case.
