March 29 - How to Sort URLs from Markdown into Nested Hashes with Regular Expressions

Summary

Parse multiple markdown files and group URLs by keywords.

Exercise Description

Inside of multiple markdown files, you will find three types of URLs:

rails.devcamp.com URLs that contain the word campsite in the URL string
rails.devcamp.com URLs that don't have the word campsite in the URL string
URLs that are not located on rails.devcamp.com

In order to successfully complete this exercise, you will need to ignore all of the non rails.devcamp.com URLs, and then group the other two types of URLs into their own nested hashes. Additionally, the markdown files have headings for each day. Utilize the humanize gem so that each day is its own key.

Example Input

There will be 4 full weeks with this type of formatting.

Example Output

Day three's (Wednesday's) hash element should look like this:

Real World Usage

In real world development scenarios, a common task that you will be asked to complete is to build scripts to automate behavior. This specific exercise was a task I was handed a few days ago by the Devcamp development staff. In this guide you will need to work with: regular expressions, nested hashes, and functional programming.
