# ZoneStartN

A regular expression that defines the start point of a zone.

A zone is a section of a field defined by a start and end pattern. Zones locate entities in parts of a field. If you do not add zone entries, Eduction searches the entire field. If the start pattern is absent, the search begins at the start of the field and continues until a match for the end pattern.

Use the EntityZoneN parameter to associate an entity identified in an EntityN parameter with one or more zones defined using the `ZoneStartN` and ZoneEndN parameters.

NOTE: You must choose start and end patterns that do not match the same text in a field.

Type: | String
Default: | None
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Any section that you have defined for Eduction settings
Example: | `ZoneStart0=Social Security: ZoneEnd0=Shipping Address ZoneStart1=Shipping Address: ZoneEnd1=Billing Address`
