Enum

ENUM { string=integer , … }

Enum constructor allows matching for a set of predefined strings and converts them into respectively assigned integer values. The strings and respective integer values are declared as series of key-value pairs, separated by commas and enclosed in curly brackets.

output type quantifier configuration

output type	quantifier	configuration
integer	none	cis = true allows matching string values case insensitively. Default false. locale = string specifying IETF BCP 47 language tag enclosed in single or double quotes (see the list here). The default locale is English. charset = character set name enclosed in single or double quotes (for example `charset="ISO-8859-1"`)

Example 23.

Suppose we have data with username, login result and comment fields:

1Alice;success;all good
2Bob;Wrong password;attempts left 2
3Oscar;tech error;
4Mallory;;doodaloo

Pattern. Line 3 maps login result strings (case-insensitively) to integer values:

1LD:username ';'
2ENUM{''=-3, 'success'=0, 'Wrong password'=1, 'tech error'=2}(cis=true):result ';'
3LD*:comment
4EOL;

Result:

username	result	comment
`Alice`	`0`	`all good`
`Bob`	`1`	`attempts left 2`
`Oscar`	`2`
`Mallory`	`-3`	`doodaloo`
