func Parse

func Parse(txt string) []Author

bylines := []string{
	"By Matthew Garrahan in Los Angeles and Tim Bradshaw in San Francisco",
	"Fred Blogs, in Washington and Bubba jo-bob Brain, chief cheese editor in Mouseland",
	"Sports Reporter",
	"Fred Smith",
	"By SARA KARL. Special to amNewYork April 24, 2014",
	"By Lucy Hyslop, Special to The Sun",
	"Daniel Wittenberg for Metro.co.uk",
	"Author: Dieter Shirley", // http://axioms.io/zen/2014-11-06-swift-go/
	"By TOM NEWTON DUNN, Political Editor",
}

for _, byl := range bylines {
	authors := Parse(byl)
	names := make([]string, len(authors))
	for i, a := range authors {
		names[i] = a.Name
	}
	fmt.Println(strings.Join(names, "|"))
}

Output:
