Regular Expression
The Regular Expression data type is assigned as a filter to an auto-­‐proofing RIP queue. Here, the user
constructs a set of rules whereby only files with a particular naming structure will be submitted for auto-­‐proofing.
Expressions
Similar to the Job Genie, the Expressions (search tasks) are entered
and displayed in the left list. Each expression is made up of one or
more strings used to match or ignore files.
The Expressions are handled in the order they appear in the list. If the
first expression matches a job name and that expression rule is to
ignore items, the job is not passed to the next expression for further
consideration. Expressions can be reordered by selecting the item and
dragging up or down the list as required.
List Options
• Add – Adds a new expression to the list.
• Duplicate – Makes a copy of the currently selected expression.
• Delete – Removes the currently selected expression.
Match
This is where you specify what you want to match and the rules to apply. You can enter one or more strings to match
and apply different rules to each.
Match options:
• Match Items – Matches the strings entered. If no other expressions exist, the job is submitted for auto-­‐proofing.
• Ignore Items – Ignores anything that matches the strings entered. If a job name matches, it is ignored and not
submitted for proofing or passed to other expressions for further matching.
• Any of the Following – The match is true if any string match conditions are met. If you have two or more match
strings in the one expression and either of them match a job name, the Match Items or Ignore Items rule is
applied.
• All of the Following – The match is only true if all string match conditions are met.
String
Enter the string to match in the text field at the bottom of the screen. This is a job name or part of a job name. The
match depends on one of the following conditions, selected with the string:
• Contains – The job name contains the entered string.
• Begins With – The job name begins with the entered string.
• Ends With – The job name ends with the entered string.
• Is – The job name matches the entered string exactly.
• Does Not Contain – The job name does not contain the entered string.
• Does Not Begin With – The job name does not begin with the entered string.
• Does Not End With – The job name does not end with the entered string.
• Is Not – The job name is not the entered string exactly.
Match String Options
• Add – Adds the match string to the list.
• Apply – Apply changes to the selected match string in the list.
• Delete – Removes the currently selected match string from the list.
