I think you're looking for cond (from memory, syntax might be wrong):

(defn parse-group [group-identifier line]
        (cond
                (= group-identitifer "ID1") (handle-id1 line)
                ...
                :else (do-something)))

etc

(doc cond) will give you what you need I think
