Find the text adjacent to a string and extract the value

[Gopalakrishnan_K]

I have extracted PDF text and saved it as string. I need to check if a specific word (say total amount ,Bill number etc…)is present in the PDF. If it is so,i need to extract the word adjacent to the specific word and add it to Data table. How can i achieve this functionality?

@Gopalakrishnan_K Use regex for this task.

Hi @Gopalakrishnan_K

Can you share the readed PDF text file along with PreserveFormatting option in properties as “True” and also without “True”

So that applying exact Regex on the same will be easier

Hi @Pratik_Wavhal , Even i am working on the same use case. Is it possible to obtain the same scenario for the field “Price” in the above pdf? Because the price amount is printed below the Price field. How to obtain that?

[Pratik_Wavhal]

Hi @Anju_Unnikrishnan

So you mean to say the price der which is in below SS right down side ??

@Pratik_Wavhal, The Price which is present right to the “Items Ordered”. I want to extract the value (57,990.00) which is below the Price field.
