For example i have tried using inspect element to get just the TLS162 part but inspect element captures it combined. ( Invoice No.: TLS162 ). How do i extract just the TLS162 part and other data fields in a pdf?
Hi @zumaho
after extraction to get the required part use a split action like below
say your string is stored in str then str.Split({":"},StringSPlitOptions.None)(1)
or you can as well use replace st.Repalce("Invoice No.:","")
Check this on how to extract data from pdf
cheers
Hi @zumaho
Another approach using Regular expression
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(YourString,"(?<=:\s)\S*$").Tostring

hi @Gokul001
Do i copy paste this into the match activity directly, sorry no idea how to use Regex
Hi thanks for the reply. I watched the video and i think i get most of it other than how to come up with my own regex code thing.
What do you mean by this and where do i insert it into?
say your string is stored in str then str.Split({":"},StringSPlitOptions.None)(1)
or you can as well use replace st.Repalce("Invoice No.:","")
Hi @zumaho
You can use assign activity
Hi @zumaho
str is the string variable where you read the pdf data. If you are reading the data into strpdf then use it.
And also in pdf you might have all fields so direct split on only colon might not work you have to use combinations or regex
cheers
Hi @zumaho
Place the regex between inverted commas that field accepts only strings
For the output it is a matchcollection so it is like a collection of match variables
to get one value use ienMatch(0).Value this gives you the first identified value
if you want all identified values then use for loop like below
