Bookmarks

Example: Entering the text “abc$” will create a bookmark only from text with
lines ending with “abc”, so “…xyzabc” would cause a bookmark of that line to
be created, but “abcxyz” would not have a bookmark created.
o If you only want to create bookmarks from lines that only contain the exact
text you specify, use both the “^” and “$” characters.
o [ ] : Any lines containing characters inside the “[ ]” will be created into a
bookmark. Characters can be specified literally, or as a range of characters.
Example: “[abc]” will create bookmarks from any lines containing either a, b,
or c. This is opposed to only creating a bookmark from text containing abc if
“abc” is entered.
”[a-dA-D]” will create bookmarks from lines containing any of the characters
between a-d (that is, a, b, c and d), in both lower and upper-case.
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.
