Dear all,
Good morning,
I am trying to get certain text from a PDF.
For example, i would like to get the invoice date.
The results are 27/02/20 19
Q1. How can i get the text without the spacing? (27/02/2019)
For example, i would like to get the invoice amount.
The text i am able to read is MYR 987.66
Q2. How can i get the text without the MYR. (only need 987.66)
Kindly advise.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Hong
Hi @eelin
There are numerous ways you can do this.
One of the easiest way is to use replace.
invoiceDate.Replace(" “,”")
invoiceAmount.Replace(“MYR “,””)
Thanks,

Hi @eelin
Is that always the format of the string that you get ?
You can use this as your reference.
Thanks for your reply.
Now i am able to get the text without the spacing.
But i dont understand the logic behind this.
Could you explain how this actually work?
Thank you.
I have go through it but i really don’t have any idea what is it.
Anyway thanks a lot for sharing those information with me.
I am the beginner to Uipath and don’t have any programming knowledge.
Basically in the first case the data is a bit corrupt and in 2nd instance you want a subset of it.
So the replace function replaces the " "(space) with “”(space removed) and similarly replaces MYR.
The best way to explore and understand uipath and its functionality is to complete level 1 rpa developer training(Available free on uipath academy). It will give you the basic understanding and you don’t need to be a programmer to learn that.
Cheers,
KJ.
