Add Simple expressions
If the pattern you are matching does not require complicated regular expressions, you can add a simple expression by following these steps:
- Open the locator properties.
-
On the
Format Definitions tab, in the
Formats group, click
Add simple expression
.
-
Enter a simple expression.
If a simple expression contains any syntax errors, a red warning message appears in the error column for that format.
- Enter a description that clearly states what data the simple expression is designed to extract. Include examples of successful matches as well as what does not match.
- Optionally, click on the General tab and configure the Settings for Non-Regular Expressions .
- Optionally, click on the Evaluation Settings tab and add keywords for evaluation.
- Open a test document and click Test to test your settings.
- Optionally, click Close to close the locator properties window.
- Save the changes to your project.
