Module: GovCodes::Dafecd::Patterns

Defined in:

lib/gov_codes/dafecd/patterns.rb

Overview

Shared line-anchor patterns used by both RecordSplitter (to detect record boundaries) and SpecialtyParser (to extract the ladder). Kept in one place so the two never drift apart.

Constant Summary

LADDER =

Skill-ladder line. Captures the concrete 5-char AFSC (group 1) and the skill-level word (group 2). Tolerant of the DAFECD's formatting quirks:

* an OPTIONAL leading "AFSC" prefix — pdf-reader sometimes shifts the
"AFSC" token to the end of the previous line, leaving a bare code at
line start (e.g. "1A194, SuperintendentAFSC"),
* an optional TRAILING "AFSC" (that shifted token),
* an optional "*" restriction marker on the code,
* an optional alternate code, e.g. "3E471 or 3E471A",
* an optional comma,
* an optional specialty-specific qualifier before the level word,
e.g. "Cryptologic Intelligence Superintendent",
* a wrapped "Senior Enlisted" (Leader on the following line),
* an optional trailing acronym, e.g. "Senior Enlisted Leader (SEL)".

The code must be at line start and the level word must END the line; together these reject prose mentions such as "possession ofAFSC 1Z331, which ...". (Prefix-glue like "LeaderAFSC 1A178" is split onto its own line by Text.split_glued_afsc before this pattern is applied.)

CEM =

CEM (Chief Enlisted Manager) code line, e.g. "CEM Code 1A100*".

/^\s*CEM Code\s+(\d[A-Z]\d00)\*?/

DECORATIVE =

Decorative glyphs pdf-reader lifts from symbol fonts and scatters through the text: Private Use Area bullets, black/white stars, and common bullets. They are never part of the data and are stripped before parsing.

/[\u{E000}-\u{F8FF}★☆•●▪■⁃∙]/

UNICODE_DASHES =

Unicode dashes the directory uses, normalized to ASCII "-".
