Add regular expression support to the MagicDetector
---------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-847
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-847
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: mime
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Andrew Jackson
Following on from TIKA-86, we would like to add support for regular expressions
to the MagicDetector. This would allow more signatures to be re-used from more
sources (e.g. the file(1) command). As part of the SCAPE Project, we have added
this functionality to our own Tika branch (e.g.
https://github.com/openplanets/tika/commit/b8de9e77c8b432788e3f73a4dbccca8ea044b503)
and are working to tidy this up to make a clean patch we can submit here.
BTW, are there any patch submission guidelines or coding standards we should
check our work against first?
