Detailed Description

A Pattern which is a list other Pattern instances.

A search for this Pattern is is satisfied if at least one of the contained Patterns is satisfied. The internal read position on input stream is advanced to the byte following the end of Pattern found. Each of the Patterns in the list is searched for in parallel. An entry in the list takes precedence in matching over entries that follow it.

PatternList patternList;                // declare a Pattern list
patternList.append("John Donne");       // this alternative will never be found
patternList.append("John");             // this alternative will always be found in preference to the one before and after
patternList.append("John1");            // this alternative will never be found
