Examples

import saw from 'string-saw';

saw('1 2 3')
	.match(/\d+$/)
	.toNumber(); // 3

saw('joe:56, bob:57')
	.matchAll(/(?<name>(\S+)):(?<age>(\d+))/g)
// [
//   { name: 'joe', age: '56' },
//   { name: 'bob', age: '57' }
// ]

saw('1 2 3 4 5')
	.split(' ')
	.itemFromRight(2)
	.toNumber(); // 3

saw([' one ', ' two ', ' three '])
	.trim()
	.join(',')
	.toString(); // "one,two,three"

saw('John. Smith.')
	.match(/\S+/g)
	.remove('.')
	.toObject('first', 'last'); // { first: "John", last: "Smith" }
