Please illustrate with an example - I'm very interested!
The setting must be stored as a single string - but can be structured - eg
with XML.
This is the current setting I have come up with:
This will categorize company name endings into LLC, BUSINES_CORP etc. I had
to escape the >< to store in an attribute.
<add key="Designations.Match"
value="(?<LLC>\bLimited\s+Company\b\W*$)|(?& lt;LLC>\bLimited\s+Liab
ility\s+Company\b\W*$)|(?<LLC>\bLC\b\W*$)|(? <LLC>\bLLC\b\W*$)|(?
<BUSINESS_CORP>\bCorporation\b\W*$)|(?<BU SINESS_CORP>\bIncorpora

Why not store the mapping as a dynamic setting instead, and load that
in at runtime? Certainly if you're using XML for your configuration it
should be very easy to work out a mapping schema - and most other
configuration techniques make it quite easy too.
