Hi Wolfgang,<br>
I am very interested in using Drools in common NLP tasks and would really like to have something to startup with, while I am still drools novice.<br>
<br>
Do you mind if I ask, is the code you posted part of some library/project?<br>
<br></blockquote><div>This code was the result of one of a series of experiments with the intent of showing how<br>rules might be used for modelling prototypes (for a specific application domain). I should emphasize that implementing a lexer by rules isn&#39;t the most efficient technique, and blatantly disregarding available tools such as lex or antlr3.<br>
<br>It does, however, illustrate the option of avoiding a potentially large set of (parsing) rules by a set of facts that are &quot;interpreted&quot; by a single generic rule expressing the basic behaviour of a FSM.<br><br>

Thanks &amp; best,<br>
