Regular Expression Iterator

Used to execute a set of components for regular expressions in specified text source. At the every iteration component will find the next regular expression in the text source. It will be parsed with iterator and stored in set of variables. After all a set of iterator components will be executed. Iterator will finish its job, if the line met its condition was not found.

Source

Set text source, which is used to parse data from every iteration.

Expression

Set regular expression.

Result Variables

A list of variables which is used to parse data.

Iteration Variable

Set variable name iteration number to be placed in.

Result not End of Line

When this flag is checked, the result is not the end of line

Result not Begin of Word

Dot not Match Newline

When this flag is checked, the "." expression is not carriage return.

Dot not Match Null

Match Any Results

When this flag is checked, the result is first appropriate string instead of finding a largest string. This flag can save the time of finding the coincidence.

Match Partial Results

When this flag is checked, the result is partially appropriate string. It means that one or some symbols at te end of the input text is equal to some regular expressions prefixes.
