LearnByExample

The

LearnByExample

searcher component learns how to search for text by examining the text location in the example source document. It uses the Parser format to interpret the source document.

For example, if the Parser has a tab-delimited format,

LearnByExample

counts the number of tabs from the search start to the example text. It searches for text in the source document that lies at the same number of tabs from the start of the search scope.

LearnByExample

is one of the settings of the

value

property of the

Content

anchor. For more information, see Content.

If the

direction

attribute of the

Content

anchor is set to

backward

, the component counts the delimiters from the end of the search scope.

The following table describes the properties of the

LearnByExample

searcher component:

Property	Description
example	Defines the text in the example source document at the anchor location.

The

LearnByExample

searcher component applies heuristics that are sensitive. To use the

LearnByExample

searcher component, the example must have the same form as the expected input. The form must be uniform across the entire input file or files. If the example is not the same as the input, the

LearnByExample

searcher component might fail.
