- GREP Support
-
- GREP (GNU Regular Expression Parser) is a commonly-used method of
- locating text substrings using a formla-like pattern matching
- algorithm. FTL includes the TRegularExpressionParser component
- which implements a version of GREP with the following capabilities:
-
- <IMG "GMARCUBE.BMP"> Literal String Match (up to 255 characters)
-
- <IMG "GMARCUBE.BMP"> Placeholder Match (up to 255 characters of any type)
-
- <IMG "GMARCUBE.BMP"> 0+ Amnesty Match (allows 0 to 255 characters of any type)
-
- <IMG "GMARCUBE.BMP"> 1+ Amnesty Match (allows 1 to 255 characters of any type)
-
- <IMG "GMARCUBE.BMP"> Set Membership and Exclusion Matches (up to 255 characters in set)
-
- <IMG "GMARCUBE.BMP"> Multiple and Optional Set Membership/Exclusion (1+ optional matches allowed)
-
- <IMG "GMARCUBE.BMP"> Multiple and Optional Range Membership/Exclusion (1+ optional matches allowed)
-
- The GREP system supports string based entry of up to 100 active
- GREP strings, all of which are checked recursively (parse tree)
- to determine the next shortest string before a match is made.
- (A visual GREP editor is also provided.) This multiple string
- capability supports the normal logical operations of GREP via
- multiple search patterns.
-
- Both delimited (up to 250 characters per delimiter) and non-delimited
- searches are supported.
-
- The net effect of the GREP engine is to allow completely user-defined
- hypertext "Smartlinks" which can be detected via program code rather
- than being hard-coded via tags.
