global tokens?
I am creating a large number of extractor patterns with very similar tokens. It would greatly simplify the process if I did not have to constantly setup each token to remove html tags, and save in session variables, etc.
My thought is to have a mechanism (maybe for each session and/or globally) to create tokens that inherit their settings from a list of tokens and settings. I know about Options>Edit Regular Expressions but it would be nice if we could associate a regular expression with the sessional/global tokens as well.
Oh, and while I'm on the subject, it would be nice if I could resize the Edit Regular Expressions dialog box (to see especially long regular expressions more easily). And if I could change the order of the regular expressions therein.
thanks,

global tokens?
Hi Dave,
I've added your suggestion about resizing the regular expression box to our list. I agree that that would be helpful.
On the "global" issue, I'm trying to come up with a good implementation to address this. Perhaps we could allow you to set defaults for the settings. For example, you could have the "Strip HTML" box checked by default. Do you think this would address the issue?
Thanks,
Todd
