Regular Expressions
This tab contains the "Regular expressions" global list, which is a collection of commonly used regular expressions that can be easily used across multiple capture profiles. Regular expressions saved within a capture profile are only available to that profile unless exported to this global list.
Regular expressions, sometimes shortened to Regex, are used throughout many areas of PSIcapture to customize and fine-tune the results recognized through OCR, character filtering, and more. Regular expressions can be useful for locating information within the document metadata. Regular expressions can account for variables such as page distortion, similar character recognition, and even ensure that only specific character sets can be matched, such as alphanumeric or numeric filters. This approach also prevents the buildup of excessive exception batches, increases Classification matching rates, and generally adjusts a capture profile to produce the best possible results.
