MultiRegExp
Synopsis
Search for several regular expressions in sections contents.
This module is experimental.
Description
MultiRegExp attempts to match regular expression patterns read from patternsFile on section contents. The patterns file is a CSV file where one column contains patterns. The patterns must follow the Java Pattern syntax .
MultiRegExp creates an annotation in targetLayer for each match. Additionally MultiRegExp adds to the annotation a feature for each column corresponding to the matched pattern.
The matches for each individual pattern will not overlap, however matches of different patterns may overlap.
