Add a Custom Token to the Library

You can add custom parsing tokens to the token library, making them available for other users. For example, if you create a custom token during the message parsing file creation process, and it would be useful for other parsing, you can add it to the library for re-use.

The following procedure assumes that you add tokens during the creation of parsing files or filters.

To add a custom parsing token to the library

  1. Open the Message Parsing wizard, and advance to the Match and Parse step.
  2. Open the Parsing File Filter wizard, and advance to the Regular Expression step.
  3. Click New Regular Expression to create a Parsing Token, and enter its regular expression syntax in the Token Details pane.
  4. Select the new parsing token, and click Add selected token to the library.

    A confirmation dialog appears

  5. Click Yes.
  6. (Optional) Click Add or Remove Tokens from Library to view the new token.

    The parsing tokens library dialog appears, showing custom tokens in black and predefined tokens in green.
