examples

var saw = require('string-saw');

saw('one two three four five six hello 323423 hello')
	.remove(/\d+/g, 'hello')
	.split(' ')
	.slice(3,4)
	.toString(); // returns "four"

saw('1 2 3')
	.match(/\d+$/)
	.toNumber(); // returns the number 3

saw('1 2 3')
	.split(' ')
	.last()
	.toNumber(); // returns the number 3

saw('joe:56, bob:57')
	.matchAll(/(?<name>(\S+)):(?<age>(\d+))/g) 
	/* returns 
	[
		{name: 'joe', age: '56'},
		{name: 'bob', age: '57'}
	]
	*/

	.matchAll(/(\S+):(\d+)/g) 
	/* returns 
	[

	]
	*/


saw('1 2 3 4 5')
	.split(' ')
	.itemFromRight(2)
	.toNumber(); // returns the number 3

saw([' one ', ' two ', ' three '])
	.trim()
	.join(',')
	.toString(); // returns "one,two,three"

saw('John. Smith.')
	.match(/\S+/g)
	.remove('.')
	.toObject('first', 'last'); // returns {first: "John", last: "Smith"}
