Filter rules - Bookmark based
As described in Dynamic Link Manager filter rules, filters can refer to the source code from where the link is going (i.e. the bookmark) using a Regular Expression string:
- <leftStringFromCode regexp="string"/> - the text before the link, from the first column of the same line
- <rightStringFromCode regexp="string"/> - the text after the link, to the last column of the same line
- <rawStringFromCode regexp="string"/> - the whole text, including the left part and the right part
This can be explained using the following image:
Tab setting
The default tab setting value is set to 4 and this cannot be modified. For programming languages that work with a different tab setting value, the filters leftStringFromCode and rightStringFromCode may NOT work correctly. In this case, as a workaround, CAST suggests using only rawStringFromCode, which is not tab sensitive.
Example
Take the following code:
This would give the following:
- Left string: + " in module/impl/application/
- Right string: ");
- Raw string: + " in module/impl/application/currencies");
- CalleeName: currencies
