Looks like what I want is a DoNothingPatternBuilder :)
Something that is implemented like:
public Pattern buildPattern(String matchThis) {
return Pattern.compile(matchThis, Pattern.DOTALL);
}
The problem will be in implementing extractGroupNames. What are group
names used for?
Could I simply return the group number?
Maybe this breaks example tables.
