Here it is:
(def lines (clojure.string/split "Line 1\nLine 2\nTarget Line\nLine
4\nNot a target line" #"\n")
user=> (doseq [line lines]
#_=> (if-let [match (re-find #"(?i)^targ.*" line)]
#_=> (println match)))
Target Line
nil
user=>
I normally find it easiest to process input like this one line at a time.
You must then the ".*" to the search pattern to match the remainder of the
line if you want that returned (try leaving it off to see the difference).
