Hi @sayali_rokade,

In this you will need to extract the information from the txt file on the basis of either regex or text matching…

This will be possible to get the whole thing as per your requirement.

Thanks,
Shubham

What are the fields you are looking to extract?

You can try the following link to test your regex:

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

@Shubham_Varshney
What are the fields you are expecting to be extracted in data table

test1.pdf (16.6 KB)
this table

Hi @sayali_rokade,

Why don’t you extract the table directly from the excel file… This will allow the extraction of the data quicker for you :slight_smile:

Steps:

  1. Open PDF in chrome
  2. Extract Data-table

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

can u pls share example/code if you have that will help me

This won’t work for the shared PDF… Just tried with this approach…

As you are looking for extracting the PSFC Intrest only, is there any thing that also comes at start for identifying the same? This will be used for creating the Regex…

Yup this will be great way to get the things to be captured :slight_smile:
Once @sayali_rokade have obtained the DT, you can perform a lot of items as per your requirement!!!

yes but later on how you put this information in excel,i am trying regex if u find solution to get table data nd store in excel pls tell me that will really help for me

yes m trying regex and then i have to save this table data in excel that is my task

Follow the following procedure:

  1. Find 1, before that for each new line is a column name for you
  2. Now look for the next number, and keep on adding that to the column respectively
  3. If the next number appear, add the blank data to the column not populated
  4. Add this to datatable in similar fashion.

Hope this helps.

Limitations:
You will be mixing up data in case any column from any rows found would come in as blank…

As always, please test your pattern with .NET Regex Tester - Regex Storm once. Since this is a .NET regex engine. I personally always test in both before going to UiPath.
