# Example Scripts

The following example post-processing script sets the score for all matches to `0.5`:

    function processmatch (edkmatch)
    if edkmatch then
        -- just overwrite the score
        edkmatch:setScore(0.5)
        end
    return true

You can also use the sample scripts that are included with Eduction to perform the following tasks, or you can use the sample scripts as a reference if you want to write your own scripts.

## Checksum Validation

The `checksum_luhn.lua` script verifies the checksum digit of each match using the Luhn algorithm, and reduces the score associated with the match if the checksum is wrong. The `checksum_luhn_enmasse.lua` script performs checksum validation as an en masse processing task, discards incorrect matches, and alters the score of correct matches to equal the proportion of matches that have the correct checksum digit.

You can use these scripts with the `number_cc.ecr` and `number_sin_ca.ecr` grammar files to validate most credit card numbers.

## Spanish Identity Card Number Validation

You can use the `checksum_dni_es.lua` script with the `number_dni_es.ecr` grammar file to validate Spanish Documento Nacional de Identidad (national identity card) numbers.

## Dutch Citizen Service Number Validation

You can use the `number_bsn_nl.lua` script with the `number_bsn_nl.ecr` grammar file to validate Dutch Citizen Service Numbers (Burgerservicenummer, or BSNs).

## Geographical Co-ordinate Standardization

You can use the `lat_long.lua` script with the `place_lat_long.ecr` grammar file to convert and standardize the output of geographical co-ordinates.

## Date and Time Standardization

You can use the `datetime.lua` script with the `datetime_advanced_eng.ecr` grammar file to convert and standardize the output of dates and times in English into a standardized format in cases where there are matches on several formats. For example, you can convert both 23/11/13 and Nov 23 2013 to epoch seconds, or to 20131123.

The `datetime_advanced_eng.ecr` grammar file can understand English natural language, and relative dates such as last Saturday morning. You can provide a reference date for `<today>` in the Lua script to enable normalization of relative dates into standard formats.

You can also use `datetime.lua` to convert number matches expressed in English to numeric format
