IG_REC_approx_regex_search_document
API Reference Guide > Recognition Component API Reference > Recognition Component Functions Reference > Approx Regex Functions > IG_REC_approx_regex_search_document

Matches text from an ImageGear multi-page document.

Declaration:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_REC_approx_regex_search_document(
   const HIG_REC_APPROX_REGEX higRecApproxRegex,
   const HMIGEAR higDocument,
   const AT_REC_MATCH_RESULT** const  match_result_array,
   AT_INT* const  match_result_size
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
higRecApproxRegex const HIG_REC_APPROX_REGEX The handle to an approximate regex instance.
higDocument const HMIGEAR The handle to an ImageGear multi-page document.
match_result_array const AT_REC_MATCH_RESULT** const A pointer to a vector of match result instances. The approximate regex owns this data. Callers that require access to this data after the approximate regex is deleted must duplicate this data and assume ownership of the copy.
match_result_size AT_INT* const The number of match results in match_result_array.

Return Value:

The number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call. If there are no errors, the return value is IGE_SUCCESS.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Example:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT errCount = 0 ;
HMIGEAR higDocument = 0 ;
HIG_REC_APPROX_REGEX higApproxRegex = 0 ;
LPAT_WCHAR patterns [] = { L".+" } ;
const AT_REC_MATCH_RESULT* match_result_array = 0 ;
AT_INT match_result_size = 0 ;

IG_mpi_create( &higDocument, 0 ); 
IG_mpi_file_open( "multi.tif", higDocument , 0 , IG_MP_OPENMODE_READONLY ); 
IG_REC_approx_regex_create( &higApproxRegex ) ;    
IG_REC_approx_regex_pattern_set( higApproxRegex , patterns , 1 ) ;
errCount = IG_REC_approx_regex_search_document
                          ( higApproxRegex, 
                            higDocument,
                            &match_result_array,
                            &match_result_size
                          ) ;
IG_REC_approx_regex_delete( higApproxRegex ) ;
IG_mpi_delete( higDocument ) ;

Remarks:

Text recognition is performed on each page. The resulting text from each page is searched for pattern matches.

Supports matching Asian language text.
