A gem for parsing an array of strings and reduce it into an array of regular expressions.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'compressor_by_regex'And then execute:
$ bundle
"require compressor_by_regex"
parser = CompressorByRegex::Parser.new(["0010","0012", "0022", "1005", "0023", "0024", "0027","1001", "0013", "1002"])
regular_expressions = parser.parse # --> ["/^0010$/", "/^001[23]$/", "/^002[2-4]$/", "/^0027$/", "/^100[12]$/", "/^1005$/"]
# Using the generated regex array
regular_expressions.none? {|regex| regex.to_regexp =~ "0023"}
