Text Miner uses regular expressions to validate, separate, and extract common data formats. The express-yourself repo contains extractor.py, separator.py, validator.py, and a tests folder.

• To run the included tests or view the regular expressions, the user must first clone the express-yourself repo onto their computer. The user must have Python 3 installed.
• To properly run the program, the contents of requirements.txt must be installed.
  • After navigating to the folder containing the textminer folder, enter pip install -r requirements.txt on the command-line to download the contents of requirements.txt.
• The user can then enter py.test on the command-line to run the included tests or open extractor.py, separator.py or validator.py to view the regular expressions used to validate, separate, and extract the data.
