= kakutils-rs

Sort by regular expression or lexicographically, find uniqes, shuffle, or evaluate rust selections without spawning a new command for each.

== Example

. Imagine you want to sort these stages
+
[source,groovy]
----
stage('Package (#3)') {
    // ...
}

stage('Build (#2)') {
    // ...
}

stage('Initialize (#1)') {
    // ...
}

stage('Publish (#4)') {}
----

. Select the stage and stage body with: `%sstage<ret>MLM`
. Sort the selection by step number with: `:utils sort #\d+<ret>` (sort on whole capture) or `:utils sort "'.+?#(\d).+?'"` (sort on first capture group, which contains only the digits)
. Note if you just run `:utils sort<ret>`

== Configuration

[source,sh,title='sh']
----
cargo install --git https://github.com/austenadler/kakutils-rs
----

[source,title='kakrc']
----
define-command utils -params 0.. %{
    eval -save-regs '"' %{
        reg dquote %val{selections}
        eval %sh{
            regex="${1:-.*}"
            # use kak_command_fifo kak_response_fifo;
            ~/syncthing/code/kakutils-rs/target/debug/kakutils-rs sort "$regex" -- "$@"
        }
        exec R
    }
}
----

== Usage

* Make multiple selections
* Run `utils sort` to sort the selections lexicographically
* Run `utils sort REGEX` to sort by regex match
** If the regex does not contain a capture group
** If the regex contains at least one capture group

== TODO

* I don't know what will happen with multiline strings and regex
* Figure out how to change the `no_skip_whitespace` option name in the source
* Get sort by selections working
