extractValues("from 4th October to 10th October", "from `from` to `to`", { whitespace: 1, delimiters: ["`", "`"] })
>> {"from": "4th October", "to": "10th October" }

whitespace - normalizes the whitespace in the input string, so it can be aligned with the given pattern. You can define the number of continous whitespaces to contain in the string. Making it zero (0) will remove all whitespaces.
lowercase - converts the input string to lowercase before matching.
delimiters - If specify the delimiters used in the pattern to define the values. Default delimiters are { and }.
