Pattern Matching Expressions

Pattern Matching Expressions—also known as Regular Expressions—can be applied to document text and token values using the Pattern Matching and Substitution processes. When the text or token values match a pattern, Quick Fields can perform some action, such as identifying the document as belonging to a document class, automatically annotating the text that meets the pattern, or substituting different text. Pattern Matching expressions can also be used as constraints on particular fields to ensure data used in them meets specified criteria.

Processes and features that use Pattern Matching Expressions include:

• Pattern Matching
• Auto-Annotation
• Substitution
• Field Constraints
• Token Editor and Token Dialog
• Text Identification
