Parameters​

Query type​

Specifies the type of the query. The available query types are: ** String Matching, Regular Expression, Regular Region, Indexed, XPath** and JSONPath;

String matching queries​

Specifies a list of string matching start and end sequences. Everything between will be used as result. See the operator documentation for details on string matching.

Attribute type​

Specifies the type of the resulting attributes. If numerical or binomial is chosen, ensure that the returned result is interpretable. The available types are: Nominal, Numerical and Binominal;

Regular expression queries​

Specifies a list of attribute names and their corresponding regular expressions. The first matching group is used as value. See the operator documentation for details on regular expressions.

Regular region queries​

Specifies a list of attribute names and their corresponding regular expressions. Two regular expressions might be specified in order to define the start and the end of a region. Everything in between the two matches will be delivered as result.

Xpath queries​

Specifies a list of attribute names and their corresponding XPath queries. See the operator documentation for details on XPath.

Namespaces​

Specifies pairs of identifier and namespace for use in XPath queries. The namespace for (x)html is bound automatically to the identifier h.

Ignore cdata​

Indicates if CDATA should be ignored when using the XPATH expression.

Assume html​

If checked a more tolerant xml parser will be used, which copes with forbidden HTML constructions, but always assumes HTML and adds missing tags. For plain XML uncheck this.

Index queries​

Specifies a list of attribute names and the regions. Regions are specified as offset index and length of the match.

Jsonpath queries​

Specifies a list of attribute names and their corresponding JSONPath queries.
