My smartphone's phonebook

Question

Introduction

Recently I was trying out one of the more obscure use-cases of a modern smartphone: Calling someone by number. While typing it in, I noticed that some of my phonebook entries were displayed, even though the number I was trying to call was different! After some experiments, I figured out why.

What it does

Every entry in the phone book is examined like this:

• Split the entry by space into "words".
• Check every word like so:
  • For every digit in the number...
  • Is the character of the word at the current index on the key with the digit at the current number?
• If at least one such word exists, display this entry

Challenge

Emulate my smartphone's behaviour!
Take the list of names below and a numeric string as input. The format for the phonebook may be chosen freely. Assume the phone number to always match [0-9]* and all names to match [0-9a-zA-Z\s]+

You can expect entries consisting of ASCII characters with values between 32 and 126 (including both). Your program should handle any length of entry and words within, as well as a list of any size.

Output a filtered list.

Input and output order is not relevant.

Use the following phone keyboard:

  1  |  2  |  3   
     | abc | def
-----------------
  4  |  5  |  6   
 ghi | jkl | mno
-----------------
  7  |  8  |  9   
 pqr | tuv | wxy
  s  |     |  z
-----------------
     |  0  |     
     |     |     

Rules

• This is code-golf, shortest code wins
• No standard loopholes

Phone Book, values comma-seperated.

Answer 1

JavaScript (ES6), 102 bytes

Expects (book)(digits), where book is an array of strings and digits is an array of integers. Returns an array of strings.

b=>a=>b.filter(s=>eval(`/\\b[${a.map(i=>i+"01adgjmptw"[i]+"-"+"01cfilosvz"[i]).join`][`}]/i`).test(s))

Try it online!

How?

The sequence of digits is turned into a regular expression of the form:

/\b[Dx-y][Dx-y]...[Dx-y]/i

where D is the original digit and x-y is the letter range associated to it, or D-D for 0 or 1.

For instance, [2,7] becomes /\b[2a-c][7p-s]/i.

We walk through the phone book and keep only the names that are matched by this regular expression.

Commented

b => a =>             // b[] = book, a[] = integer sequence
b.filter(s =>         // for each string s in b[]:
  eval(               //   evaluate as JS code:
    "/\\b" +          //     regexp delimiter, followed by \b
    "[" +             //     followed by the first '['
    a.map(i =>        //     for each integer i in a[]:
      i +             //       append i
      "01adgjmptw"[i] //       append the first range character
      + "-" +         //       append a '-'
      "01cfilosvz"[i] //       append the second range character
    ).join`][` +      //     end of map(); join with ']['
    "]/i"             //     append the last ']' and '/i'
  )                   //   end of eval()
  .test(s)            //   keep s if it's matching the above regular expression
)                     // end of filter()

Python 3, 96 bytes

lambda n,p:[s for s in p if' '+n in''.join([i,'%i'%min(ord(i)%32/3.2+2,9)][i>'9']for i in' '+s)]

Try it online!

Also works in Python 2

ord(i)%32 converts both upper and lower case characters to the range (1,2,3,...,24,25,26). Division by 3.2 converts this list to 00011122233344455556667778. Adding 2 to the list and using min to convert the last digit into 9, completes the character mapping 22233344455566677778889999.

Python 2, 129 111 108 bytes

lambda n,S:[s for s in S if" "+n in"".join([`(ord(c)+(c<"S")-(c>"Y"))/3-20`,c][c<"A"]for c in" "+s.upper())]

Try it online!

A function that takes in a phone number string and a list of names, and returns the list of matched names.

For each name, converts it to its digit string equivalent, then returns the name if the phone number is found inside that name's digit string. To make sure that the phone number only matches the start of a word in name, before matching, a space is prepended in front of the phone number and the name.

Example:

name : "Kevin Cruijssen"    -> " 53846 278457736" (notice the space at the start)
phone: "27"                 -> " 27"
" 27" in " 53846 278457736" -> True

Answer 5

R, 103 102 bytes

Edit: -1 byte by prepending 0 (zero followed by space) to the contact name, instead of just (space), since the zero without a preceding space can itself never be matched

function(n,l,`~`=toString)l[grepl(paste("",n),chartr(~letters,~c(7:31%/%3.13,9),paste(0,tolower(l))))]

Try it online!

Same approach as Surculose Sputum's answer: convert phonebook to space-separated numbers & search for match.

Commented code:

find_contact=
function(n,l                # n=number, l=list of contacts
 ,`~`=toString)             # ~=alias to toString function
 l[                         # return all entries in the list of contacts...
  grepl(                    # ...for which there is a match for...
   paste("",n),             # ...the number with prepended space...
   chartr(                  # ...in the list made by swapping all...
    ~letters,               # ...lowercase letters for...
    ~c(7:31%/%3.13,9),      # ...digits from 2 to 9 in groups of 3 (or 4 for 7 and 9)... 
    paste("",tolower(l))    # ...in the lowercase list of contacts with prepended spaces
  ))]

T`2-9`cfi\l\os\vz`-.
^
Gi`(?<=\W)

Try it online! Another port of @Arnauld's answer. Takes the first line as the digits and the remaining lines as the phone book. Explanation:

~(

Execute the rest of the program, then use the output as a program and execute that on the original input.

1G`

Keep only the line with the digits.

.
[$&$&-$&]

Turn each digit into a character class.

T`2-9`a\dgjm\pt\w`.-
T`2-9`cfi\l\os\vz`-.

Adjust the first and last characters of the range to the appropriate letters.

^
Gi`(?<=\W)

Prefix a Retina instruction to keep only lines matching those characters (case insensitively) when prefixed by a non-letter (therefore excluding the line of digits).

The result of the inner script looks something like this:

Gi`(?<=\W)[6m-o]

This is a Retina program to keep lines that match any of the characters 6mno after a non-word character. Note that I can't include the non-word character in the match as that would cause the previous line to be included if the newline is the character in question.

Explanation:

C->n->              // Method with String-Stream & Integer-array parameters and String-Stream return-type
  C.filter(c->{     //  Filter the input String-Stream by:
    var s="(?i)";   //   Create a regex-String, starting at "(?i)"
    for(int i:n)    //   Loop over each digit of the input integer-array:
      s+=           //    Append the following to the regex-String:
         "["        //     An opening square bracket
         +"01adgjmptw".charAt(i)
                    //    Appended with the `i`'th character of "01adgjmptw"
         +"-"       //    Appended with a "-"
         +"01cfilosvz".charAt(i)
                    //    Appended with the `i`'th character of "01cfilosvz"
         +i         //    Appended with digit `i` itself
         +"]";      //    Appended with a closing square bracket
    var r=0>1;      //  Boolean `r`, starting at false
    for(var w:c.split(" "))
                    //  Split the current String by spaces, and loop over each word:
      r|=           //   Change the boolean to true if the following is true:
         w.matches( //    Check if the current word regex-matches:
           s        //     The regex-String we created earlier
           +".*");  //     Appended with ".*"
    return r;})     //  After the loop, return this boolean `r` to filter on

Regex explanation:

The String#matches method in Java implicitly adds a leading ^ and trailing $ to match the entire String.

I.e. input [5,4,2] would result in the following regex:

^(?i)[a-c2][p-s7].*$
^                  $  # Match the entire string
 (?i)                 # Match case-insensitive
     [a-c             # A character in the range a-c (thus in "abc")
         2]           # or a 2 (thus in "abc2")
           [p-s       # Followed by a character in the range p-s (thus in "pqrs")
               7]     # or a 7 (thus in "pqrs7")
                 .*   # Followed by any amount of optional trailing characters

|a,b|b.filter(move|x|x.split(|&b|b<33).any(|w|(0..).zip(a).all(|(j,&i)|j<w.len()&&(b"@CFILOSVZ".iter().fold(1,|a,&b|a+(b<w[j]&95)as u8)==i||48+i==w[j]))))

Try it online!

The code is a bit of a mess, with a sprinkle of .iter(), & and move here and there. The strings are represented as &[u8]s, as are the numbers pressed. Rust doesn't have regexes in its standard library, so I manually find the digit for each letter from the array b"@CFILOSVZ". Case insensitivity is performed by bitmasking with 95 which is 0x5f = 0x7f - 0x20. This transforms the lowercase chars to uppercase.

Some bytes were saved in the edit by switching from b==32 to b<33 and using (0..).zip() and indexing instead of w.iter().zip().
