'''''Pattern Match''''' is an extractor type used by Grooper software. As per its name, it extracts pieces of data that match the pattern of text entered into the Expression Editor (aaa will match aaa, Dogs will match just Dogs, or both Dogs and dogs depending on Case Sensitivity, ''\d{3}'' will match groups of exactly three digits). This is accomplished through a mix of standard text, alphanumeric characters, and regex. Note that with '''''Pattern Match''''', Regular Expression Syntax (found in the Vocabulary section in the Properties tab of the Extractor Editor) does not need to be turned on, as it will match regex automatically. Pattern Match can be useful when you want to extract certain pieces of data across a document, or multiple documents, such as dates or social security numbers. | '''''Pattern Match''''' is an extractor type used by Grooper software.
