I've just started with Ruta and I would like to write a rule that finds any combination of chars, numbers and dot (.) .
(JAVA Regex for it - ([a-z0-9.]+) )
for e.g. -
abcd.03ef0.3abc
03a.bcd.03eeff903a.bc
Something like the following:
(SW | NUM | PERIOD)+{-> MyType};
or if uppercase chars should also be included:
(W | NUM | PERIOD)+{-> MyType};
change the filtering setting before, if no spaces may occur in between:
Document{-> RETAINTYPE(SPACE,BREAK,MARKUP)};
in order to avoid overlapping matches, you can either use MARKONCE instead of the implicit action, an additional (negated) condition -PARTOF(MyType), or change the matching strategy with GREEDYANCHORING.
