Answer
In match-case we can use the split() method on the message string.
Example:
def match_case_with_if(command):
    match command.split():
        case [*command_list] if 'install' in command_list:
            print(f"Hey you are installing {command_list[-1]}....")
        case [*command_list] if 'uninstall' in command_list:
            print(f"Are you sure you want to uninstall {command_list[-1]} ?")
match_case_with_if('pip install numpy')
# Output: Hey you are installing numpy....
match_case_with_if('pip uninstall numpy')
# Output: Are you sure you want to uninstall numpy ?
Here, the string can be split into a list and if condition can be applied on it’s contents. Hope this helps!!
