fst-match - longest match analyser
fst-match [ options ] file [ input-file [ output-file ] ]
fst-match is a longest match analyser. The first argument is the name of a compact transducer file which was generated by fst-compiler -c. The second argument is the name of the input file. The third argument is the output file. If the third argument is missing, output is directed to stdout. If the second argument is missing, as well, input is read from stdin.
fst-match reads the argument transducer and performs a longest-match analysis of the input string. Given the transducer <x>:<>ab+<x>:<>, it will analyse the string baabbca as ba<x>abb<x>ca.
If the longest match can be mapped to several target strings, only one of them is printed.
