When configuring a regular expression for a Data Field Zone or a Keyword Lookup/Replace dictionary entry, you can access the Regular Expression Library from the text field that receives the regular expression. This gives you the ability to apply an existing expression from the library to the text field and to edit or create expressions in the library as you would when accessing the library from the Tools panel.

To configure a regular expression from a text field:

  1. Click in a text field that will receive a regular expression and press F2. The Match/Tag Value Configuration dialog box is displayed.
  2. To enter a literal text string (i.e., specific text), select Literal Text and enter the text string, enclosed in quotation marks, in the corresponding field.
  3. To enter a regular expression that will only be applied to this text field (i.e., an expression that will not be added to the Regular Expression Library), select Standalone Regular Expression and enter the expression in the corresponding field.
  4. To apply a regular expression from the Regular Expression Library, select Regular Expression Library, and then select an expression from the list.

    • If you wish to edit an expression in the library, double-click on the expression in the list to open the Edit Regular Expression Entry dialog box. Then edit the entry as you would normally (see Editing Default Regular Expressions).

    • If you wish to add a new expression to the library, click Create New Library Entry to open the Edit Regular Expression Entry dialog box. Then create the new expression as you would normally (see Creating Custom Regular Expressions).

    Note:

    Only one regular expression can be applied to each text field, except when configuring the Begin table, End table, and Invalid row fields for a Line Item Extraction Data Field Zone.

  5. To apply the selected regular expression to the text field, click Save.
  6. To cancel any selections or configuration changes, click Cancel.
