Hi all,

I try to analyze a string with a curl request:

> ```
> curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/_analyze?pretty=true' -d '
> {
> "tokenizer" : "standard",
> "filters" : ["pattern_capture"],
> "text" : ["This is a test 2016"],
> "explain" : true
> }'
> 
> ```

I want to apply the token filter "pattern\_ capture", but I don't know how to add the pattern with this kind of request.

How I can do to add the pattern ?

Thanks in advance.  
Alexandre

I think you cannot parametrize filters inside the `_analyze` request body. Instead, add the pattern capture token filter under a specific name to your index like described [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/analysis-pattern-capture-tokenfilter.html) and then refer to that name in the `_analzye` request.
