Hi there!

I've been using your package for a personal project and it is great! Thank you very much for all the work. Since it has been very helpful, I thought I'd give back by improving something I found was not as straight forward as other aspects of the message.

Up to now, the parsing of the emotes in the message was a bit odd, specially for handling messages where the same emote repeats multiple times.

I made a small utility function that takes care of better parsing the information from the message into an array containing a new struct EmoteReference. This struct includes the id of the emote, the name (aka the text used to represent the emote), and the indices in the message that correspond to the emote. The idea is that having all this information it is easier for a user of the package to handle emotes.

Please, let me know if there's anything out of place or if I should include some more test cases (although I feel like the one included already handles all cases).

Cheers!

Hi @MahdiBM, first of all, thank you for the work on that library!

For some reason i cannot resolve the message type in a switch statement like in the examples.

This is my code:

print(rawString)

let twitchMessages: [(message: IncomingMessage?, text: String)] = IncomingMessage.parse(ircOutput: rawString)

for (message, _) in twitchMessages {
  if let message = message {
    
    print(message)
    
    switch message {
    case .privateMessage(let privateMessage):
      print("In channel \(privateMessage.channel), user \(privateMessage.displayName) sent a message: \(privateMessage.message)")
    default: break
    }
  }
}

It does not go into the case let .privateMessage(privateMessage): and always falls through to the default.

The print statements i've added print the following output to the console:

// print(rawString)
@badge-info=subscriber/22;badges=subscriber/18;client-nonce=a2d200e925041b5e800bf32c47039ed7;color=#D2691E;display-name=MNT7_Matze;emotes=306934184:79-88;first-msg=0;flags=;id=42e74668-a2a0-4f26-85b6-a2c00563b926;mod=0;returning-chatter=0;room-id=73437396;subscriber=1;tmi-sent-ts=1670779577985;turbo=0;user-id=24647541;user-type= :mnt7_matze!mnt7_matze@mnt7_matze.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #bonjwa :@Omphis weiß nicht ob die StarCraft-Ehre das zulassen würde extra zu verlieren bonjwaCute

// print(message)
privateMessage(TwitchIRC.PrivateMessage(channel: "bonjwa", message: "@Omphis weiß nicht ob die StarCraft-Ehre das zulassen würde extra zu verlieren bonjwaCute", badgeInfo: ["subscriber/22"], badges: ["subscriber/18"], bits: "", color: "#D2691E", displayName: "MNT7_Matze", userLogin: "mnt7_matze", emotes: "306934184:79-88", emoteOnly: false, flags: [], firstMessage: false, returningChatter: false, messageId: "", id: "42e74668-a2a0-4f26-85b6-a2c00563b926", crowdChantParentMessageId: "", customRewardId: "", roomId: "73437396", tmiSentTs: 1670779577985, clientNonce: "a2d200e925041b5e800bf32c47039ed7", userId: "24647541", replyParent: TwitchIRC.PrivateMessage.ReplyParent(displayName: "", userLogin: "", message: "", id: "", userId: ""), pinnedChat: TwitchIRC.PrivateMessage.PinnedChat(amount: 0, canonicalAmount: 0, currency: "", exponent: 0), parsingLeftOvers: TwitchIRC.ParsingLeftOvers(unusedPairs: [], unavailableKeys: [], unparsedKeys: [])))

So it looks like it has the proper type but why doesn't it work?
