public final class PatternTokenizer
extends Tokenizer

This tokenizer uses regex pattern matching to construct distinct tokens for the input stream. It takes two arguments: "pattern" and "group".

• "pattern" is the regular expression.
• "group" says which group to extract into tokens.

group=-1 (the default) is equivalent to "split". In this case, the tokens will be equivalent to the output from (without empty tokens): String.split(java.lang.String)

Using group >= 0 selects the matching group as the token. For example, if you have:

  pattern = \'([^\']+)\'
  group = 0
  input = aaa 'bbb' 'ccc'

the output will be two tokens: 'bbb' and 'ccc' (including the ' marks). With the same input but using group=1, the output would be: bbb and ccc (no ' marks)

NOTE: This Tokenizer does not output tokens that are of zero length.
