# Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer(3pm)

Split a string into tokens.

## NAME

Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer - Split a string into tokens.

## SYNOPSIS

```
    my $tokenizer = Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer->new;
    # Then... once you have a tokenizer, put it into a PolyAnalyzer:
    my $polyanalyzer = Lucy::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer->new(
        analyzers => [ $case_folder, $tokenizer, $stemmer ], );
```

## DESCRIPTION

Generically, "tokenizing" is a process of breaking up a string into an array of "tokens".  For instance, the string "three blind mice" might be tokenized into "three", "blind", "mice".

Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer breaks up the text at the word boundaries defined in Unicode Standard Annex #29. It then returns those words that start with an alphabetic or numeric character.
