Discord large text generator

Question

Input:

The input will be a string of any characters.

Output:

the output will be an emojified (discord emojis) version of the input string. The way it will work is as so:

Letters: a-z (case insensitive) will become ':regional_indicator_lowercase letter here:'

e.g 'A' will become ':regional_indicator_a:'

Digits: any digits (0-9) will become the word version of the digit like so ':digit:'

e.g '0' will become ':zero:'

Whitespace: any whitespace character that's matched with the regex: /\s/ will become ':white_large_square:'

e.g ' ' will become ':white_large_square:'

Important notes:

• The ':' surrounding the emoji's are necessary or else it won't display correctly in discord.

• Each emoji needs to be separated by 1 space or else it won't display correctly in discord.

• Trailing whitespace is allowed in the final output.

• Any other characters that it comes across should not be in the final output and will be ignored.

Examples:

#1: Input:

this is a test string 0123456789

output:

:regional_indicator_t: :regional_indicator_h: :regional_indicator_i: :regional_indicator_s: :white_large_square: :regional_indicator_i: :regional_indicator_s: :white_large_square: :regional_indicator_a: :white_large_square: :regional_indicator_t: :regional_indicator_e: :regional_indicator_s: :regional_indicator_t: :white_large_square: :regional_indicator_s: :regional_indicator_t: :regional_indicator_r: :regional_indicator_i: :regional_indicator_n: :regional_indicator_g: :white_large_square: :zero: :one: :two: :three: :four: :five: :six: :seven: :eight: :nine:

#2: input:

!?#$YAY 1234

output:

:regional_indicator_y: :regional_indicator_a: :regional_indicator_y: :white_large_square: :one: :two: :three: :four:

#3: input:

lots         of         spaces

output:

:regional_indicator_l: :regional_indicator_o: :regional_indicator_t: :regional_indicator_s: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :regional_indicator_o: :regional_indicator_f: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :white_large_square: :regional_indicator_s: :regional_indicator_p: :regional_indicator_a: :regional_indicator_c: :regional_indicator_e: :regional_indicator_s:

Answer 1

Python 2, 275 268 267 bytes

d=['']*256
d[48:58]='zero one two three four five six seven eight nine'.split()
d[9]=d[10]=d[32]='white_large_square'
d[65:90]=d[97:122]=map(lambda c:'regional_indicator_'+chr(c),range(97,122))
print' '.join((':%s:'%d[ord(c)])*(d[ord(c)]!='')for c in input()).strip()

It creates a large list of strings, iterates through the input string's characters and gets the string from the list using the character's ord value. Works for ascii characters only. Replaces space, tab and newline only; any other whitespace will be discarded.

It did leave whitespaces in front so I had to strip it in the end.

I also tried doing it with regex, turned out to be longer (286 bytes):

import re
print re.sub('([ \t\n])|([a-z])|(\d)',lambda m:':'+['white_large_square','regional_indicator_'+m.group(m.lastindex),'zero one two three four five six seven eight nine'.split()[(ord(m.group(m.lastindex))-68)%10]][m.lastindex-1]+': ',re.sub('[^a-z0-9 \t\n]','',input().lower()))

Try it online!

Explanation

T`w ¶p`_dll%%%_

(Note the tab before the ¶) This is a transliteration stage with changes all letters to lowercase, all whitespace to %, and deletes every other character.

.
:$&: 

Next, every character gets wrapped in colons and followed by a space.

[a-z]
regional_indicator_$&

Next, letters are replaced with regional indicators.

%
white_large_square

And %, which were previously whitespace, are replaced with white_large_square.

0
zero
1
one
.......

And finally, the digits are replaced with their respective emojis.

PowerShell, 200 197 Bytes

-3 because the [A-Za-z] regex isn't needed in the default case-insensitive regex matches.

$a=switch -R ([char[]]"$args"){
"[0-9]"{(-split'zero one two three four five six seven eight nine')["$_"]}
"[a-z]"{"regional_indicator_"+"$_"|% *l*r}
"\s"{"white_large_square"}};":$($a-join': :'):"

Would like to find:

a way around using $a - wrapping a switch statement in brackets causes it to not work at all for some reason, and any other method is longer than just using a variable.

Try it online! - input whatever you want and get the result easily.
