I mean, if you're primarily interested in not repeating the overall pattern, for simple scenarios, you can just use the same template string "#{m[0]}:#{m[1]}@#{m[2]}" to both generate both the full regex, and to interpolate your strings.

Put back scope explanation. Some people are commenting that there is no guarantee for the output to match the pattern, which was the point in the first place.

| Nov 18, 2020 at 1:14 | comment | added | user1937198 | Well, you'd have to start by restricting it to regards where any choice in the regex was covered by a capture, so for practical purposes only constant strings can be outside. So a concatenation of constant strings and regexes that capture the full match, that only match if all match? | |

Removed dictionary reverse-lookup request, and small detail which didn't seem to contribute to the question.

| Nov 17, 2020 at 22:59 | comment | added | Kain0_0 | Are you suggesting reversing the string and checking it against a pattern? If so its simply pattern matching. | |
