Regular expression is a pattern for matching text. In BasicCAT and ImageTrans, we can use it to find and replace text.

We can learn about regular expressions in this website.

Here is a list of useful regular expressions:

  • .*? match all text
  • [0-9] match all numbers
  • ^.{1,2}$ match text whose length is 1 to 2 to filter out misrecognized text
  • [a-zA-Z] match all English characters
  • ^[a-zA-Z]*$ match text containing only English characters
  • [\u4e00-\u9fa5] match all Chinese characters

The list is to be enriched…
