Pipe to Complex Map

In this case, I wouldn’t even bother with the Stream.map calls. The extra indirection is slowing you down and adding complexity for no real benefit. Thanks to @dimitarvp 's nice sample code, I took it and modified a bit to be more direct.

defmodule Parse2 do
  def data(), do: ~S"""
  jhb team names:hawks,maulers,eagles,wolves
  dbn team names:sqeaks,bunfighters
  """

  def stream_string(text) do
    {:ok, io} = StringIO.open(text)
    IO.stream(io, :line)
  end

  def create_index_name(name) do
    ":" <> String.replace(name, " ", "_")
  end

  def line_to_kv(line) do
    [key | names] =
      line
      |> String.trim()
      |> String.downcase()
      |> String.split([":", ","])

    {create_index_name(key), names}
  end

  def test2() do
    # Replace first two lines with your file reading code.
    data()
    |> stream_string()
    |> Map.new(&line_to_kv/1)
  end
end
