NAME¶
fst-match - longest match analyser
SYNOPSIS¶
fst-match [ options ] file [ input-file [
output-file ] ]
OPTIONS¶
- -q
- Suppress status messages.
- -h
- Print usage information.
DESCRIPTION¶
fst-match is a longest match analyser. The first argument is the name of
a compact transducer file which was generated by fst-compiler -c. The
second argument is the name of the input file. The third argument is the
output file. If the third argument is missing, output is directed to
stdout. If the second argument is missing, as well, input is read from
stdin.
fst-match reads the argument transducer and performs a
longest-match analysis of the input string. Given the transducer
<x>:<>ab+<x>:<>, it will analyse the string baabbca
as ba<x>abb<x>ca.
BUGS¶
If the longest match can be mapped to several target strings, only one of them
is printed.
