The Parser Tuner provides several options for adding entries to a custom definition table:

Guidelines:
  • Before using any of these methods, you must understand the syntax and conventions that apply to entries.
  • BDP definitions are also created and modified using:
    • The Word Definition and Mask Definition tools available from the BDP configuration window.
    • The word definition tables from the Library in Discovery.

Use external files and copy/paste into the Parser Tuner

To use external files and copy/paste into the Parser Tuner

The Parser Tuner works with Unicode characters and uses UTF-8 encoding in the copy/paste operations. If you plan to use external files and copy/paste into the Parser Tuner, the best practice is as follows:

  1. Create the external file first with UTF-8 encoding. For example, use the file/conversions/ASCII to UTF-8 option in your text editor.
  2. Select the text from the Parser Tuner's Customized Definitions window and copy it using Edit/Copy or Ctrl+C.
  3. Paste the text into your new UTF-8 encoded external file using Edit/Paste of Ctrl+V.
  4. You may now make changes in the external file and freely copy/paste between it and the Parser Tuner's Customized Definitions window. Both the source and target are UTF-8 encoded Unicode and all of the Unicode BMP characters will be preserved.
  5. Select Save from the File menu to save the entry in the Customized Definitions table.
  6. (Optional) Test the changes before applying them.
  7. Apply the changes to save them to the repository.
