How to Use Patterns
Figure 152. Inserting Patterns in the Input Field
Once you define the patterns you can use them in CST entries. To insert a
pattern, right-click a character from the input string. Insert Pattern and/or
Insert Formatted Pattern displays at the bottom of the pop-up menu. See
Figure 152.
Use these menus to insert your pattern or formatted pattern. The pattern will
be inserted before the character. To append a pattern, right-click past the end
of the Input string.
Figure 153. Inserted Patterns
A pattern has an index number in red on a light green background with the
mnemonic
pat below the index number. A formatted pattern uses the
mnemonic fpt . See Figure 153.
Figure 154. Inserting Patterns in the Output Field
The same formatted pattern may be used more then once in the Input field.
When you want data found by the pattern to be copied to the Output field, use
the index number (in red) to identify the data. To add a pattern to the Output
field, use the same procedure as for the Input field. The Insert Pattern and
Insert Formatted Pattern menus list all patterns used in the Input field with the
index number in front of the pattern name. See Figure 154.
