 Regular expressions are often used to extract information from different types of text documents.

Sometimes it is necessary to extract information that appears with the same format in multiple sections of a document, like for instance, text that is presented in multiple rows of HTML table. Extracting data from this kind document may require the use of multiple types of regular expressions.

This class provides a solution to simplify the extraction of text from document with repetitive sections by iterating through a set of given regular expressions.
