Task properties
General tab
l
Search mode group: Select your chosen search mode within this group.
l
Search line by line: Select if you want each line in the data stream to be searched
separately. When this option is selected, PlanetPress Workflow considers each line
as an individual data stream (lines are separated by Line Feed characters). It
minimizes memory requirements but may also limit hits, since lines are considered
separately. Note that it is not possible to use search expressions that specify
multiple data lines when this option is selected.
l
Search whole file: Select if you want the entire data stream to be searched as if it
were a single string of text. When this option is selected, PlanetPress Workflow
loads the entire file in memory. It offers more flexibility, since search expressions
may span across multiple lines and may result in more successful hits. Note that
since this option uses more memory, it may affect performance.
l
String to search: Enter your search string or regular expression in this variable
property box. To enter multiple strings or expressions, press Enter after each one
(note that only one string can be entered in the Replace with box).
l
Treat as regular expression: Select to specify that the string or strings entered above
are to be interpreted as regular expressions rather than ordinary text strings. This option
disables all position options as well as the Whole words only option.
l
Search options group
l
Case sensitive: Select to force the plugin to match the character casing of the
search string above with the characters found in the file. If this option is selected,
“DAY and Day” will not be considered as matching the search string day”.
l
Whole word only: Select force the plugin to search only for strings that match the
search string from beginning to end (cannot be used with regular expressions). If
this option is selected, “DAY and “DAYS will not be considered as matching
strings.
