About

Pattern Match is one of the most commonly used extractors for general data. As per its name, it extracts data from a document matching a regex pattern entered into Value Pattern.

This extractor can be useful when you want to extract text data matching a particular pattern across a document, such as dates or social security numbers. For example, the format MM/DD/YYYY can be matched with the regex pattern \d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}.
