okay.. so, my next question. is there something more “functional” about doing it this way, rather than a straight pattern match? i have spent the past 30 years in the OOP world. I used Lisp maybe 30 years ago, but didn’t know enough to really make the distinction back then.
I know I initially asked about doing it with a pattern match, just because i saw that in a course, and EVERY TIME i need to do regex, i need to look at the docs..
Thanks!
