# RVerbalExpressions 
[](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tyluRp/rverbalexpressions-4tt0n)
[](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=RVerbalExpressions)
[](https://cran.r-project.org/package=RVerbalExpressions)
The goal of `RVerbalExpressions` is to make it easier to construct regular expressions using grammar and functionality inspired by [VerbalExpressions](https://github.com/VerbalExpressions). Usage of `%>%` is encouraged to build expressions in a chain like fashion.
## Installation
Install the released version of `RVerbalExpressions` from [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/package=RVerbalExpressions):
```r
install.packages("RVerbalExpressions")
```
Or install the development version from GitHub with:
``` r
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("VerbalExpressions/RVerbalExpressions")
```
## Example
This is a basic example which shows you how to build a regular expression:
```{r example, message=FALSE}
library(RVerbalExpressions)
# construct an expression
x <- rx_start_of_line() %>%
rx_find('http') %>%
rx_maybe('s') %>%
rx_find('://') %>%
rx_maybe('www.') %>%
rx_anything_but(' ') %>%
rx_end_of_line()
# print the expression
x
# test for a match
grepl(x, "https://www.google.com")
```
