Abstract

The extractions of different types of artifacts are required from the source code for different maintenance activities. This paper describes a lexically based Regular Extraction Technique (RET) adapted to extract the artifacts from a wide variety of source codes to support the reverse engineering process. The technique uses the pattern specification language to specify the artifacts construct to extract the desired source code models, which represent the information at the implementation, functional, structural and architectural levels for maintenance tasks. The user design the Abstract Regular Expression Patterns (AREP) of interests using the specification pattern constructs to extract the source code models, which describe the required artifacts for maintenance tasks at hand.
