ParseTarget Method of the Hyperlink Object

ParseTarget method of the Hyperlink Object in the ABBYY FineReader Engine API — Brings the Target property into canonical form per HyperlinkSchemeEnum (escapes special characters; expands shorthand forms such as bare email addresses and www. URLs).

This method brings the IHyperlink::Target property to the canonical form, according to the types described in HyperlinkSchemeEnum. In particular, for all non-local hyperlinks, this method substitutes escape characters (white space, backslash, etc.) with corresponding escape sequences. Besides, for example, the e-mail address “[e-mail]” is changed to “mailto:[e-mail]”, or the web-site address “www.abbyy.com” is changed to “http://www.abbyy.com”.
