manage.hyph.pat: Handling hyphenation pattern objects

Description

This function can be used to examine and change hyphenation pattern objects be used with hyphen.

Usage

manage.hyph.pat(hyph.pattern, get = NULL, set = NULL, rm = NULL,
  word = NULL, min.length = 3, rm.hyph = TRUE)

Arguments

hyph.pattern

Either an object of class kRp.hyph.pat, or a valid language abbreviation for patterns included in this package.

get

A character string, part of a word to look up in the pattern set, i.e., without the numbers indicating split probability.

set

A character string, a full pattern to be added to the pattern set, i.e., including the numbers indicating split probability.

rm

A character string, part of a word to remove from the pattern set, i.e., without the numbers indicating split probability.

word

A character string, a full word to hyphenate using the given pattern set.

min.length

Integer, number of letters a word must have for considering a hyphenation.

rm.hyph

Logical, whether appearing hyphens in words should be removed before pattern matching.

Value

• If all action arguments are NULL, returns an object of class kRp.hyph.pat-class. The same is true if set or rm are set and hyph.pattern is itself an object of that class; if you refer to a language instead, pattern changes will be done internally for the running session and take effect immediately. The get argument will return a caracter vector, and word a data frame.

code

manage.hyph.pat

Details

You can only run one of the possible actions at a time. If any of these arguments is not NULL, the corresponding action is done in the following order, and every additional discarded:

• get

{Searches the pattern set for a given word part} set{Adds or replaces a pattern in the set (duplicates are removed)} rm{Removes a word part and its pattern from the set} word{Hyphenates a word and returns all parts examined as well as all matching patterns}
