Hi,
I'd like to use the Ruta string functions referenced in the user guide here:
https://uima.apache.org/d/ruta-2.3.0/tools.ruta.book.html#ugr.tools.ruta.language.extensions.core-ext.stringfunctions
The problem is, they don't work out of the box in the Ruta Workbench 2.3.1 with
Eclipse 4.4.2. I've set up a new Ruta project with a script containing the
(slightly modified) code from the substring example:
DECLARE Test; // I've added this line to make the example work.
STRING s;
STRINGLIST sl;
CW{-> MATCHEDTEXT(s), ADD(sl, substring(s,0,8))};
CW{INLIST(sl) -> Test}; // Changed SW to CW to make the rule work.
The input file only contains two words, "Alexanderplatz" and "Alexander". What
I expected was that the first rule finds "Alexanderplatz" and stores the first
nine letters of it in the string list sl so that the last line can annotate
"Alexander" with "Test". In reality, however, nothing happens. I get no error
message, but after execution, there is no "Test" annotation.
Is there some additional configuration needed to access these string functions?
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Wolf-Dietrich Materna
