About
Extractors in Grooper use regular expression to match a document's text data in order to return a particular piece of information. Extractors serve a variety of purposes. They can be used to populate fields in a data model, to separate and classify documents, to break up a document into sections, and more. For the most part, any time part of document's text data is needed or useful to do something, you need an extractor to find and return it.
Often, this requires something more complex than returning a single result. The relationships between multiple extraction results are often important. The fact results are physically related to each other on the page, or text exists between one or more results, or results are in one order versus another can be used accomplish various goals in Grooper.
