You can enter rules that determine whether lines should be filtered out during readout or not. If "no detection of SIP lines" is selected, all read-in lines will be included in the line management.
If "Rules for detecting SIP lines" is selected, a set of rules is applied when reading in lines, which determines whether a line should be filtered out or included in the line management. This set of rules consists of individual rules created by the user.
Character | regular expression | Description |
^ | ^0 or ^Max | The circumflex character (^), followed by a character string in a regular expression, checks whether the character string is at the beginning of the call number or name. Using the regular expression "^0" causes the program to check whether the digit '0' is at the beginning of the call number, or with the regular expression "^Max", whether the name begins with the character string "Max". In both cases the line would be filtered out. |
$ | 15$ or mann$ | A character string followed by a dollar sign ($) in a regular expression checks whether the character string is at the end of the call number or name. The regular expression "15$" checks whether the character sequence "15" appears at the end of the call number, or the regular expression "mann$" checks whether the name ends with the character string "mann". In both cases the line is filtered out. |
| | 64|72|73 or Max|mann|lich | The vertical pipe character (|) separates two or more alternative character strings in the search. A match occurs when one of the alternatives applies. With the regular expression "64|72|73" a search for the numerical sequence 64 or 72 or 73 is performed anywhere in the call number. With the regular expression "Max|mann|lich" a search in the character string "Max" or "mann" or "lich" is performed anywhere in the name. If the search is successful the line is filtered out. |
. | 5.6 or M..er | The dot (.) in the regular expression is a placeholder for any character in this position. A search with the regular expression "5.6" will find the digit sequences 506, 516, 526... in the call number. A search with the regular expression "M..er" will find the character sequences "Meyer", "Meier", "Mayer",... in the name. If the search is successful the line will be filtered out. |
[] | [123] or [asd] | The square brackets ([) and (]) indicate a quantity of characters to be searched for in the call number or name. A search with the regular expression "[123]" will filter out all call numbers in which the digits 1, 2 or 3 occur. A search with the regular expression "[asd]" will filter out all names in which the letters a, s or d occur. |
Check:
You can directly check your set of rules in the "Rules for detecting SIP lines" dialog box. Enter a character string in the Search Text field that you want to test with the set of rules. In the "Detected as SIP line:" field, you can see whether a rule for filtering was successfully applied to the search text.
