SWI-Prolog -- tokenize

Availability::- use_module(library(porter_stem)).(can be autoloaded)

tokenize_atom(+In, -TokenList)

Break the text In into words, numbers and punctuation characters. Tokens are created to the following rules:

`[-+][0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?([eE][-+][0-9]+)?`	number
`[:alpha:][:alnum:]+`	word
`[:space:]+`	skipped
anything else	single-character

Character classification is based on the C-library iswalnum() etc. functions. Recognised numbers are passed to Prolog read/1, supporting unbounded integers.

It is likely that future versions of this library will provide tokenize_atom/3 with additional options to modify space handling as well as the definition of words.
