RAPID: RAPid Interpretation of Data

The RAPID tool facilitates the analysis and the visualization of data residing in arbitrary text files. It differs from other analysis applications in the way it selects and operates on data. In RAPID, data elements are directly retrieved from the unstructured text files using pattern-matching. For this purpose, we use the Perl language. This language was especially designed for efficient text scanning and thus provides powerful support for pattern-matching. Moreover, the fact that Perl is an interpreted script language enhances our tool’s extensibility and portability significantly. In this paper, we describe the RAPID tool and discuss some of its design and implementation issues.
