public void addMacro(java.lang.String original,
                     java.lang.String replacement)

compile

public TregexPattern compile(java.lang.String tregex)

Create a TregexPattern from this tregex string using the headFinder and basicCat function this TregexPatternCompiler was created with. Implementation note: If there is an invalid token in the Tregex parser, JavaCC will throw a TokenMgrError. This is a class that extends Error, not Exception (OMG! - bad!), and so rather than requiring clients to catch it, we wrap it in a ParseException. (The original Error's are thrown in TregexParserTokenManager.)

Parameters:

tregex - The pattern to parse

Returns:

A new TregexPattern object based on this string

Throws:

TregexParseException - If the expression is syntactically invalid
