Bookmarks
o [^] : Any text containing characters inside the “[ ]” and after the “^”
will not be turned into bookmarks. This feature is very handy when
applied with in conjunction with other bookmark selection properties to
stop unwanted bookmarks from being created. Please be aware that
conversely this means that any other text not in the “[ ]” will be
considered as potential bookmark material. Therefore it is suggested
that another bookmark selection property is used in conjunction with
this one.
Example: Entering “[^0-9]” will still create bookmarks containing
numbers if the text line contains any other character – 1.0 will be
turned into a bookmark because it contains a “.”.
If you really want to exclude numbers like 1.0 you would need to
modify it to “[^0-9\.]. The “\” is explained below, and is needed
because “.” is a considered special character in text masking.
o \ : The “\” character is used when you wish to actually match a
special character, such as “.” Or “$”. These special characters are used
in the Text Mask field to perform special text matching.
Example: Entering “\$” will search and create a bookmark from text
on the document containing a “$”, ignoring the normal “$” text mask
command.
o * : Use the “*” character to create bookmarks from more than one set
of characters at the same time.
Example: Entering “a*b” will create bookmarks from any line of text
containing either a and/or b.
o + : Use the “+” character to create bookmarks from a set of
characters arrayed in a certain order. Bookmarks can be created from
the first character(s) before the “+”, however, characters after the “+”
can only be bookmarked if the characters before the “+” are also
present.
Example: Entering “a+b” will create bookmarks from any line of text
containing
ab, aab, aaab¸ etc. Any text like ba, or cb, will be ignored.
o ? : Like the “+” character, the “?” character creates bookmarks from
a set of characters arrayed in a certain order, but in this case,
bookmarks can be created from characters before the “?” only if the
proceeding characters are also present. The characters after the “?”
can be used to create bookmarks, irrespective of whether characters
before the “?” are present.
Example: Entering “a?b” will create bookmarks from any line of text
containing ab, abb, or just b.
