Here the workflow is not necessary…I am asking the idea for how to get only required text from the whole file

4

use OCR method its the most reliable one…

Hi @PratheeshKG,

In order to extract essential text (partial), you need to do string manipulation over the Output of particular text file.

It can be reading the contents line by line and extracting on the basis of Index, etc

i am trying to scrap this pdf file and i need whole text from this.But i am not able to scrape the entire text from this file.I think in this pdf file.,text are placed inside image format.

In that case you need to use “Read PDF with OCR” activity to extract the pdf file into string.

Get the content of the text file in a string.
Use string manipulation or Regular expression to extract the required data.
try this regex: ((.*?)(?=))
replace and with the keywords from the content of the text file in order to extract the data between them.

16

start process activity- path of the file.
Ctrl +A and Ctrl+C when the file opens.
Get from clipboard to store the text in variable. then extract the required text
if file has text within images, try using ocr … or use the ocr of the acrobat application
