> The PatternTokenizer either functions by splitting on matches, or allows you
> to specify a single capture group. This is insufficient for my needs. Quite
> often I want to capture multiple overlapping tokens in the same position.
> I've written a pattern token filter which accepts multiple patterns and emits
> tokens for every capturing group that is matched in any pattern.
> Patterns are not anchored to the beginning and end of the string, so each
> pattern can produce multiple matches.
> For instance a pattern like :
> {code}
> "(([a-z]+)(\d*))"
> {code}
> when matched against:
> {code}
> "abc123def456"
> {code}
> would produce the tokens:
> {code}
> abc123, abc, 123, def456, def, 456
> {code}
> Multiple patterns can be applied, eg these patterns could be used for
> camelCase analysis:
> {code}
> "([A-Z]{2,})",
> "(?<![A-Z])([A-Z][a-z]+)",
> "(?:^|\\b|(?<=[0-9_])|(?<=[A-Z]{2}))([a-z]+)",
> "([0-9]+)"
> {code}
> When matched against the string "letsPartyLIKEits1999_dude", they would
> produce the tokens:
> {code}
> lets, Party, LIKE, its, 1999, dude
> {code}
> If no token is emitted, the original token is preserved.
> If the preserveOriginal flag is true, it will output the full original token
> (ie "letsPartyLIKEits1999_dude") in addition to any matching tokens (but in
> this case, if a matching token is identical to the original, it will only
> emit one copy of the full token).
> Multiple patterns are required to allow overlapping captures, but also means
> that patterns are less dense and easier to understand.
> This is my first Java code, so apologies if I'm doing something stupid.
