medattrib

Description

A replacement for MedAttrib.pl.

The MedAttrib class method parse(text) returns an AnnotatedString which contains the original text and a list of the tags found. Because "doseamount" depends on the presence of other tags, the taggers have been split into pre- and post-doseamount taggers.

Example usage

MedAttrib can be accessed either directly by Ruby code or as a command line executable.

To use the library in Ruby:

```require "medattrib" tagger = MedAttrib.new annotated_string = tagger.parse("take daily.")

annotated_string is now "take daily." with a "freq" tag labeling "daily" in standoff annotation (class AnnotatedString). This can be printed as inline xml using AnnotatedString#to_s:

Then inspect the output of "annotated_string":

```ruby
puts annotated_string

And you should get output similar to this:

#=> "take <freq normalized='qd'>daily</freq>."

Alternatively, the command line executable tags text line by line, and reads from standard in and writes to standard out.

``` $ medattrib take daily. take daily.

## Running tests

To run all the tests:

```bash
rake test

To run a specific test:

ruby -I'lib:test' test/test_medattrib.rb -n test_no_sub_tag
