HFST-REGEXP2FST(1)

NAME
hfst-regexp2fst - =Compile (weighted) regular expressions into transducer(s)

SYNOPSIS
hfst-regexp2fst [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

DESCRIPTION
Compile (weighted) regular expressions into transducer(s) Common options:

-h, --help
    Print help message

-V, --version
    Print version info

-v, --verbose
    Print verbosely while processing

-q, --quiet
    Only print fatal erros and requested output

-s, --silent
    Alias of --quiet

--colour[=WHEN]
    Print in colour WHEN:

--color[=WHEN]
    always, never, auto (default)

  Input/Output options:

-i, --input=INFILE
    Read input transducer from INFILE

-o, --output=OUTFILE
    Write output transducer to OUTFILE

  String and format options:

-f, --format=FMT
    Write result in FMT format

-j, --disjunct
    Disjunct all regexps instead of transforming each regexp into a separate transducer

-l, --line
    Input is line separated (default)

-S, --semicolon
    Input is semicolon separated

-e, --epsilon=EPS
    Map EPS as zero, i.e. epsilon.

-x, --xerox-composition=VALUE Whether flag diacritics are treated as ordinary
    symbols in composition (default is false).

-X, --xfst=VARIABLE
    Toggle xfst compatibility option VARIABLE.

  Harmonization and optimization options:

-H, --do-not-harmonize
    Do not expand '?' symbols.

-F, --harmonize-flags
    Harmonize flag diacritics.

-E, --encode-weights
    Encode weights when minimizing (default is false).

-M, --do-not-minimize
    Determinize result instead of minimizing it.

If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used. FMT must be one of the following: {foma, sfst, openfst-tropical, openfst-log}. If EPS is not defined, the default representation of 0 is used VALUEs recognized are {true,ON,yes} and {false,OFF,no}. Xfst variables are {flag-is-epsilon (default OFF)}.

EXAMPLES

echo " {cat}:{dog} " | hfst-regexp2fst
    create transducer {cat}:{dog}

echo " {cat}:{dog}::3 " | hfst-regexp2fst
    same but with weight 3

echo " c:d a:o::3 t:g " | hfst-regexp2fst
    same but with weight 3 in the middle

echo " cat ; dog ; "3" " | hfst-regexp2fst -S
    create transducers

    "cat" and "dog" and "3"
