well the ? would work if the length of each token be same. however, instead of A>B>C I want tags that change dynamically from 1 to unlimited length.
I just I could just pad every token to a normalized length such as 00000000...000A but i am hoping there is a better method. if we could tell lucene to do it like in a regular expression until a > is there to insert ??'s ... Another way could be to do the regularexpression outside lucene, but then still there is need for fetching the hits. Best. -C.B.
