RunParser

The

RunParser

action runs a secondary Parser. The output of

RunParser

is appended to the output of the main component that activated it, such as a Parser or serializer.

Use the

RunParser

action to follow the links in an HTML file and run a secondary Parser on the link destinations. In a serializer, you can use it to parse bits of unstructured data in the input.

Note the following difference between the

RunParser

action and the

EmbeddedParser

anchor:

RunParser

parses a new source.

EmbeddedParser

parses a section of an existing source.

The following table describes the properties of the

RunParser

action:

Property	Description
disabled	Determines whether the Script ignores the component and all of the child components. Use this property to test, debug, and modify a Script. You can choose one of the following options: Selected. The Script ignores the component. Cleared. The Script applies the component. The default is cleared.
exclude_strings	Defines the strings that must be absent from the input_source . If a specified string is present, the RunParser action does not access the source or activate the secondary Parser.
include_strings	Defines the strings that must be present in the input_source value. If a specified string is missing, the RunParser action does not access the source or activate the secondary Parser.
input_source	Defines a data holder that contains one of the following objects: If input_source_as_text is selected, input_source contains a string. If input_source_as_text is cleared, input_source contains the path and file name of the input document. Default is the `VarLinkURL` system variable.
input_source_as_text	Determines the type of data in the input_source data holder. Selected. input_source contains a text string. Cleared. input_source contains a file path. Default is cleared.
name	A descriptive label for the component. This label appears in the log file and the Events view. Use the name property to identify the component that caused the event.
next_Parser	Defines the name of the Parser to run. A recursive call to the same Parser is permitted.
on_fail	The action to take if the component fails. You can choose one of the following options: Cleared. Take no action. CustomLog. Write to the user log. LogError. Write an error message to the engine log. LogInfo. Write an information message to the engine log. LogWarning. Write a warning message to the engine log. NotifyFailure. Send a notification. Default is cleared. For more information about handling component failures, see Failure Handling.
optional	Determines whether a component failure causes the parent component to fail. You can choose one of the following options: Selected. Component failure does not cause the parent component to fail. Cleared. Component failure causes the parent component to fail. Default is cleared. For more information about component failure, see Failure Handling.
phase	Determines when the Script processes the component. You can choose one of the following options: initial. The Script processes the component during the initial phase. main. The Script processes the component during the main phase. final. The Script processes the component during the final phase. For more information, see How a Parser Searches for Anchors. Default is main.
pre_processor	Defines a document processor to apply to the source after the document processor defined in the associated AdditionalInputPort pre_processor .
remark	A user-defined comment that describes the purpose or action of the component.
retries	Defines the number of times to retry if the request fails. Default is 0.
seconds_to_wait	Defines the interval in seconds between retries. Default is 60.
