Help
1

Hi everyone.

I have many pdf files in one folder. I want to check all of lines and get number one by one pdf files base on got text " Tổng cộng tiền thanh toán: "

If the line has text as above, then the number will be extracted into the excel file.

Thanks you so much!

hi @trunghai,

I’ll suggest you to use regex pattern to extract the same number

Number = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(text,"(?<=Text:).+?(\n)").Value

  1. Instead of Text you’ve to put "Tổng cộng tiền thanh toán: " OR string variable,
  2. text —> is your string variable containing whole pdf text

@trunghai
Follow this steps.
1.Use for each activity to iterate all pdf files one by one…In for each activity… use…
Directory.getfiles(“YourFolderPath”,“*.pdf”)
2.In for each activity use Read Pdf text activity and give op as PDFText
3.Then use assign activty…
N0.=System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(PDFText,“(?<=Tổng cộng tiền thanh toán:).+”).Value
4.Use this variable to write text in excel sheet.

Yeah sure @trunghai,

  1. use for each like,
    foreach item In Directory.GetFiles(fullPath)
    where fullPath (String var) having full path of the folder with all pdf’s.
  2. use Read PDF Text activity and use item as file name.
  3. use above assign —>
    Number = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(text,“(?<=Tổng cộng tiền thanh toán: ).+?(\n)”).Value
    Number (String var)
  4. if you get number with some white spaces then use trim on it,
    Number = Number.Trim

@trunghai,

hey just made it correct. it’ll work now but I’ve added one activity called select folder so at the starting of the workflow you need to select that folder.
just have a look here,
run this workflow and you’ll get the idea.

Invoice Number PDF.xaml (7.8 KB)

Note: You don’t need to read that pdf line by line. Read PDF Text will give you whole pdf text in string format.
If you’re expecting more than one numbers then let me know.

Hi Bro @samir

Thank you Bro… I have understood :slight_smile:

If I want to got number “123.456.789” in string : (Total): 123.456.789

What is the command ?

15

hey @trunghai, you want “123.456.789” from string “(Total): 123.456.789” right? Correct me if i’m wrong.

Then simply use replace method on that string.
lets take Str (string var) —> “(Total): 123.456.789”
then
take 1 assign,
Str = Str.replace("(Total): ","")
so that it’ll replace “(Total): " by null value —>”"
