Abstract

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems for parsing unstructured data with a plurality of pattern matching rules are disclosed. An optimized pattern matching rule for one or more respective pattern matching rules is derived from an original pattern matching rule. The optimized pattern matching rule includes an extracted text string from the respective pattern matching rule or a less complex pattern match than the respective pattern matching rule. If the extracted text string or pattern is determined to match any of the data to be parsed, application of the original pattern matching rule is bypassed. The original pattern matching rule is applied when the one or more optimized pattern matching rules match the data.
