Hey Glen, it appears that zipmap most directly corresponds to your initial
question.
The only complicating aspect is your desire for nils, which (concat result
(repeat nil)) addresses.
(zipmap [:fullname :lastname :firstname :middlename] (concat result
(repeat nil)))
If it weren't for the
Just golfing for fun:
(apply hash-map (interleave [:fullname :lastname :firstname :middlename]
(concat ["John Lou Doe" "Doe" "John"] (repeat nil
;=> {:firstname "John", :lastname "Doe", :middlename nil, :fullname "John
Lou Doe"}

What about:
{:fullname (get result 0), :lastname (get result 1), :firstname (get result
2), :middlename (get result 3)}
If the "get" function can't find a result, it returns nil.

Array destructuring appears to provide what you want with respect to nils
(note the extra set of square braces within the argument list):
(defn make-map
[[fullname lastname firstname middlename]]
{:fullname fullname
:lastname lastname
:firstname firstname
:middlename middl
I am doing some text processing using clojure and attempting to extract a
person's name by regex and then assign it to a map. The result I get takes
one of several forms:
nil (if i can't find the name)
[fullname]
[fullname lastname]
[fullname lastname firstname]
[fullname lastname firstname
