Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method of processing an electronic text document. The method includes obtaining a character from the document. The method also includes obtaining a hash input code from a character map, the hash input code corresponding to the character. The method also includes modifying a hash value based on the hash input code if the hash input code indicates that the character is part of a token, or asserting the hash value if the hash input code indicates that character is not part of a token.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for processing an electronic text document by performing a scan, the method comprising:
- obtaining a character from the document;
- obtaining a hash input code from a character map, the hash input code corresponding to the character;
- modifying a hash value based on the hash input code if the hash input code indicates that the character is part of a token;
- and
- asserting the hash value if the hash input code indicates that character is not part of a token.
A computer system, comprising:
- a processor that is configured to execute machine-readable instructions;
- a storage device that is configured to store data, the data comprising a character map that includes character indicators and associated hash input codes;
- and
- a memory device that stores instructions that are executable by the processor, the instructions comprising:
- a hash input code finder configured to receive a character from an electronic text document and obtain a hash input code corresponding to the character from the character map;
- a hash generator configured to modify a hash value based on the hash input code if the hash input code indicates that the character is part of a token;
- and
- a hash handler configured to assert the hash if the hash input code indicates that the character is not part of a token.
A tangible, computer-readable medium, comprising code configured to direct a processor to:
- receive a character obtained from an electronic text document and obtain a corresponding hash input code from the character map;
- modify a hash value based on the hash input code if the hash input code indicates that the character is part of a token;
- and
- assert the hash value if the hash input code indicates that the character is not part of a token.
