greedy_match {triebeard}

Greedily match against a tree

Description

greedy_match accepts a trie and a character vector and returns the values associated with any key that is "greedily" (read: fuzzily) matched against one of the character vector entries.

Usage

greedy_match(trie, to_match, include_keys = FALSE)

Arguments

trie

a trie object, created with trie

to_match

a character vector containing the strings to check against the trie's keys.

include_keys

a logical value indicating whether to include the keys in the returned results or not. If TRUE (not the default) the returned object will be a list of data.frames, rather than of vectors.

Value

a list, the length of to_match, with each entry containing any trie values where the to_match element greedily matches the associated key. In the case that nothing was found, the entry will contain NA. In the case that include_keys is TRUE, the matching keys will also be included

See Also

longest_match and prefix_match for longest and prefix matching, respectively.

Examples

trie <- trie(keys = c("afford", "affair", "available", "binary", "bind", "blind"),
                   values = c("afford", "affair", "available", "binary", "bind", "blind"))
greedy_match(trie, c("avoid", "bring", "attack"))
