REGEXP("CORA:.*")

I had a doubt in this rule Line{-REGEXP("CORA:.*") -> MARK(Reference)}; What CORA:.*means

Solution

  • The string CORA:.* is interpreted as a regular expression. It is directly delegated to the Pattern implementation of Java. It means that the text the regular expression is applied on needs to start with the string CORA: followed by arbitrary characters (.*). The conditions checking the regular expression is negated, thus the rule creates annotations of the type Reference for each visible Line annoation that starts not with the string CORA:.

    I assume in the context of the rule, the document starts with a line CORA: which indicates the layout/structure/source of the references.
