Get text
The DIS object provides a number of methods to get the text of the subdivisions that the disambiguation identified.
These methods are listed in the following table.
| Subdivision type | Method |
|---|---|
| Entire document | getText |
| Section | getSectionText |
| Paragraph | getParagraphText |
| Sentence | getSentenceText |
| Clause | getClauseText |
| Phrase | getPhraseText |
| Token | getTokenText |
For example, considering the following text:
Michael Jordan was one of the best basketball players of all time.
this statement:
var tokenText = DIS.getTokenText(6);
sets the tokenText variable to the text (the) of the 7th subdivision in the sequence of tokens and atoms identified by disambiguation.
This other statement:
var phraseText = DIS.getPhraseText(3);
sets the phraseText variable to the text (of all the time) of the fourth phrase.
The getText method has no arguments, while all the other methods share this syntax:
DIS.method(index)
where:
methodis the method used to get the subdivisions text.indexis the integer number representing the zero-based index of a specific text subdivision in the sequence of all the subsequent subdivisions of the same type that the disambiguation identified.
