2023:Pattern Match (Value Extractor)

Pattern Match is a type of data extraction that relies on regex. While it does not rely solely on regex for all data extraction (text pieces do not require regex), regex is especially useful in narrowing down the exact piece of data you want extracted.

About

Pattern Match is an extractor type used by Grooper software. As per its name, it extracts pieces of data that match the pattern entered into the Expression Editor. 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. 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.
