manage.hyph.pat {sylly}

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 = 3L,
  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.

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:

• getSearches the pattern set for a given word part

• setAdds or replaces a pattern in the set (duplicates are removed)

• rmRemoves a word part and its pattern from the set

• wordHyphenates a word and returns all parts examined as well as all matching patterns

If all action arguments are NULL, manage.hyph.pat returns the full pattern object.

Value

If all action arguments are NULL, returns an object of class kRp.hyph.pat. 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.
