Hi guys
I’m working on a project to extract name, email address and other details from the following document ( Image). By using OCR function I can get the details to a string. but the problem is how to segregate details from it and fill a form
Thanks and regards
Charith Wickramasinghe
Hi,
You have to create a parser to get all needed data, but since it is string from OCR there will lots of problems, because string won’t be so structurized like form native file. Could you share yours string with 2 examples ?
Hello , As Far as I have understood your query, there shouldn’t be any problem extracting the data using String Manipulation if the data extracted contains everything you need. Just Need to go through String Manipulation Functions 
this is output i got

hi ,
the problem i’m facing is how to extract the details like name , email address from the string.
i’m getting many images like this ( but none of them are standardized ) which i have to process to the above mention application form.
Like I said it won’t be easy to parse that data. But you have to create some methods that will extract text based on some “pointers” and allow you to retrive needed information. Example email: you know that it has “@” so you could use it to extract it from the text. If you know where an email is then you can get an adress which is next to that field, and so on. And remeber to spend extra hours to test it.
Hope it gave you a direction 
To get an email you can use something like : strArr = string.Split("@“c) then to get 1st part: textArr = strArr(0).Split(” “c), emailName = textArr( textArr.Count - 1), get 2nd part of an email: textArr = strArr(1).Split(” "c), emailDomain = textArr(0).
email = String.Format(“{0}@{1}”, emailName, emailDomain)
To be honest i’m not sure if there is no syntax error ( writing on the laptop without any compiler )
@charith_wickramasing, Yeah, Is it possible to explain what exactly are those values in the output. If it sticks to a preferred format, We might be able to use Regex and try solving it. But as @rado mentioned this is not a easy one to Solve 
What do you think about using Regex @rado
By extracting data from the string i meant all possibly method :D, of course regex is in that group. Also there will be nice to create some custom activities which will help to exctract data to a easy readable format, so custom DTO is in my opinion a must.
Hi Guys
There are some images of same process,
I tried from regex functions, But its not work accurately for every image.
Highly appreciate your help on this.
Thank you
As you can see in the image we can splits the data by using ‘2 spaces’.But once i run the ocr and get the extracted values the two spaces are not there
