I want to set a statically defined value depending on the matching regex.  
Currently Im using the translate filter plugin with a dictionary of 400 entries to set the value depending on the matching regex.  
Is it possible to have multiple matching regex and therefore set multiple values?

Example String:  
"This is a sample string"

Static mapping for regex to value:  
._is._ =\> "is"  
._string._ =\> "string"

Then my result should contain a list of all the values for the matching patterns  
contains = ["is", "string"]

How could this be achieved?  
Any ideas would be highly appreciated 🙂
