Otherwise you can download the binary from Releases

parsnip "(\S+) (\S+)" "Jamie Martin"

}

fmt.Println(parsed)

Output to JSON file. Defaults to none.

parsnip -out "./result.json" "(?P<first>\S+) (?P<last>\S+)" "Jamie Martin"

By default, parsnip converts input text to JSON based on a given regular expression.

$ parsnip "(\S+) (\S+)" "Jamie Martin"
{"1":"Jamie","2":"Martin"}

Named groups can be used to map key-value pairs.

$ parsnip "(?P<first>\S+) (?P<last>\S+)" "Jamie Martin"
{"first":"Jamie","last":"Martin"}
