VerbalExpressions *tester = [[[[[[[VerEX() startOfLine] then:@"http"] maybe:@"s"] then:@"://"] maybe:@"www."] anythingBut:@" "] endOfLine];
NSString *testMe = @"https://www.google.com/";
if( [tester test:testMe] ){
NSLog(@"We have a correct URL ");
}else{
NSLog(@"The URL is incorrect");
}
// replace string
NSString *replaceMe = @"Replace bird with a duck";
tester = [VerEX() find:@"bird"];
NSString *result = [tester replace:replaceMe by:@"duck"];
NSLog(@"result = %@",result);
// shorthand for string replace
result = [[VerEX() find:@"red"] replace:@"We have a red house" by:@"blue"];
NSLog(@"result = %@",result);
