Tokenizer

INSTALLATION

Tokenizer is provided as a .gem package. Simply install it via RubyGems.

To install tokenizer issue the following command:

$ gem install tokenizer

If you want to do a system wide installation, do this as root (possibly using sudo).

Alternatively use your Gemfile for dependency management.

SYNOPSIS

You can use +Tokenizer+ in two ways.

  • As a command line tool:
$ echo 'Hi, ich gehe in die Schule!. | tokenize
  • As a library for embedded tokenization:
> require 'tokenizer'
> de_tokenizer = Tokenizer::WhitespaceTokenizer.new
> de_tokenizer.tokenize('Ich gehe in die Schule!')
> => ["Ich", "gehe", "in", "die", "Schule", "!"]
  • Customizable PRE and POST list
> require 'tokenizer'
> de_tokenizer = Tokenizer::WhitespaceTokenizer.new(:de, { post: Tokenizer::Tokenizer::POST + ['|'] })
> de_tokenizer.tokenize('Ich gehe|in die Schule!')
> => ["Ich", "gehe", "|in", "die", "Schule", "!"]

See documentation in the Tokenizer::WhitespaceTokenizer class for details on particular methods.
