# Bdpar provide a tool to easily build customized data flows to pre-process
# large volumes of information from different sources. To this end, bdpar allows
# to (i) easily use and create new functionalities and (ii) develop new data
# source extractors according to the user needs. Additionally, the package
# provides by default a predefined data flow to extract and preprocess the most
# relevant information (tokens, dates, ... ) from some textual sources (SMS,
# email, tweets, YouTube comments).

#' @title Class to find and/or remove the users on the data field of an Instance
#'
#' @description This class is responsible of detecting the existing use names in the
#' \strong{data} field of each \code{\link{Instance}}. Identified user names are
#' stored inside the \strong{userName} field of \code{\link{Instance}} class.
#' Moreover if required, is able to perform inline user name removement.
#
#' @section Details:
#' The regular expressions indicated in the \code{userPattern}
#' variable are used to identify user names.
#'
#' @section Note:
#' \code{\link{FindUserNamePipe}} will automatically invalidate the
#' \code{\link{Instance}} whenever the obtained data is empty.
#'
#' @section Inherit:
#' This class inherits from \code{\link{GenericPipe}} and implements the
#' \code{pipe} abstract function.
