Parsing - Introduction

Definitions

Parsing is the process of syntax analysis of textual information.

Within the scope of this program, parsing stands for intellectual import of any textual information into a database:

• The source of the textual information is a program that supports drag-and-drop (MS Internet Explorer, MS Word, WordPad, Outlook, Outlook Express, etc., practically, all programs compatible with Microsoft Windows) or a text file.
• Intellectual import means that the input information is automatically split into database fields.

Accordingly, parsing is a process inverse to the export of data into text (see Custom Export).

How it works?

Let's assume that you are going to add some information about books from a popular Web-site www.amazon.com into your books database. 

To do so, you simply need to drag-and-drop the text with the required information about the books from the Internet Explorer window into the window of the program we describe:

 If your database already contains a template for parsing of the textual information, records will be automatically created in the database based on the text dropped:

 If no template is available, the program suggests you create a new import template (parser):
