Example 9 Sample uppercase Rule

The following sample converts the entire input string into uppercase prior to doing any pattern or value replacements. Since this is defined in the cleanser section, this is performed prior to tokenization.


<cleanser>
   <uppercase/>
   <replaceAll regex="\." replacement=". "/>
   <replaceAll regex="AND / OR" replacement="AND/OR"/>
   ...
</cleanser>
