Triggers and fields that use regular expressions
You can locate trigger strings and fields using a regular expression that have been added to the PDF Indexer and the AFP Conversion and Indexing Facility (ACIF) indexer. The graphical indexers validate existing triggers and fields that use a regular expression. The graphical indexers determine trigger locations if a regular expression was provided.
To add triggers and fields with regular expressions, use the Keyboard Edit or Parameter File option.
Triggers and fields that use a regular expression can be updated or viewed but the regular expression cannot be changed from the Update a Trigger or Update a Field dialogs. Adding triggers and fields with regular expressions is not supported using the Add a Trigger or Add a Field options.
Important: For a field, the regular expression is not used by
the graphical indexer to determine if the string in the document matches
the regular expression. The location defined in the FIELD parameter
and masks are based on the information contained in the parameter.
With the exception of a transaction field (line data only), the mask
or regular expression is not used to locate the fields.
