class RegexMatcher extends AnnotatorApproach[RegexMatcherModel]

Uses rules to match a set of regular expressions and associate them with a provided identifier.

A rule consists of a regex pattern and an identifier, delimited by a character of choice. An example could be \d{4}\/\d\d\/\d\d,date which will match strings like "1970/01/01" to the identifier "date".

Rules must be provided by either setRules (followed by setDelimiter) or an external file.

To use an external file, a dictionary of predefined regular expressions must be provided with setExternalRules. The dictionary can be set in either in the form of a delimited text file or directly as an ExternalResource.

Pretrained pipelines are available for this module, see Pipelines.

For extended examples of usage, see the Examples and the RegexMatcherTestSpec.

Example

In this example, the rules.txt has the form of

the\s\w+, followed by 'the'
ceremonies, ceremony

where each regex is separated by the identifier by ","

    Sets the regex rules to match the identifier with.

    The rules must consist of a regex pattern and an identifier for that pattern. The regex pattern and the identifier must be delimited by a character that will also have to set with setDelimiter.

    Only one of either parameter rules or externalRules must be set.

    val regexMatcher = new RegexMatcher()
  .setRules(Array("\d{4}\/\d\d\/\d\d,date", "\d{2}\/\d\d\/\d\d,date_short")
