The Regular Expression Library contains all of the regular expressions that have been configured for your system. Within the library, you can edit your system's default, pre-populated expressions (i.e., for Address Extraction and Person Name Extraction) and add or delete your own custom expressions. By configuring the regular expressions in the library, you can make them readily available when configuring any form within your system and tailor your solution for specific Advanced Capture needs.

To configure regular expressions within the Regular Expression Library:

  1. From the Advanced Capture Configuration Window, click the Regular Expression Library link in the Tools panel.
    Note:

    You can also access the Regular Expression Library by clicking in a text field that can receive a regular expression (i.e., when configuring Data Field Zones or Keyword Lookup/Replace dictionary entries) and pressing F2. For more information on accessing the Regular Expression Library in this fashion, see Configuring Regular Expressions From a Text Field.

  2. The Regular Expression Library dialog box is displayed.
  3. To quickly organize the list of system default expressions in the System Level Regular Expression section and/or the list of custom expressions in the User-Defined Regular Expressions section, click the column header of the desired column (e.g., Regular Expression or Description) to sort the list by the values in that column in ascending order. Click the same header again to sort the list in descending order.
  4. To filter the list of custom expressions in the User-Defined Regular Expressions section, type the desired regular expression characters in the Find field.
  5. Once you have organized the lists and/or located a specific regular expression, do one of the following:
  6. To save any changes made to the Regular Expression Library, click Save.
  7. To cancel any changes made to the Regular Expression Library, click Cancel.
