Summary:
The RegEx Counter rule will take a regular expression set in the settings and run it against a raw text or an HTML or some other textual data to count how many times it exists.

In the background it basically runs a preg_match_all on your content, using your defined regular expression.

Module needed:
AI Interpolator Extractor

Field types to populate:
Number (integer) field (core number).

Base Fields types to use as context:

  • Text (plain)
  • Text (plain, long)
  • Text (formatted)
  • Text (formatted, long)
  • Text (formatted, long, with summary)

Extra Requirements:
Not a hardware requirement, but don't setup this if you don't know how regular expressions works.

Extra Settings:

None

Extra Advanced Settings:

Regular Expression

Add your regular expression that you want to count the context source for. If you do not set a working regular expression, this will fail. Use regex101 to figure out if your regular expression works correctly.

Possible example use cases:

  • You want to know how many times a word exists in a raw text dump.
  • You want to scrape a webpage and count how many external links it has, by just giving the link. Can be done together with the AI Interpolator Scraping Bot.
  • You want to extract links to how many times a sentence exists in a PDF, Excel or Word file. Can be done together with the AI Interpolator ConvertAPI.
