NAME
hfst-sfstpl2fst - =Compile a file written with SFST programming language into a transducer.

SYNOPSIS
hfst-sfstpl2fst (alias hfst-calculate) [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

DESCRIPTION
Compile a file written with SFST programming language into a transducer.

  Common options:

-h, --help
    Print help message

-V, --version
    Print version info

-v, --verbose
    Print verbosely while processing

-q, --quiet

  String and format options:

-f, --format=FMT

If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used. FMT must be one of the following: {foma, sfst, openfst-tropical, openfst-log}

EXAMPLES

    echo "[a-z]*" | hfst-sfstpl2fst -f foma > az.foma

    create a foma transducer accepting any number of consecutive characters between a and z, inclusive

    echo "a:b (a:<>)+" > ab.sfst-pl ; hfst-sfstpl2fst -f openfst-tropical \

-i ab.sfst-pl -o ab.tropical

    create a tropical OpenFst transducer that accepts two or more consecutive 'a's and maps them into string "b"
