Dear All,

I have a scenario, where in i want to read a pdf —> write the pdf content into a textfile —> read the text file —> get the required values which which has occurred only once

Eg: I my text file, i got something like Mobile Number 88888888888 using regex editor, i managed to get the Mobile Number value,but the problem is, the same content i.e “Mobile Number 88888888888” is repeated thrice in the text file, as a result,i am getting the same value repeated thrice, but, i wanted to get only once (first occurrence)

Please help me with the correct RegEx,so that i can implement the same

Regards,
Ram

@Ram0803 Is only one mobile number present in pdf file but mulitple times? or something different scenario

@Manjuts90

No, there are totally 3 times, the same Mobile Number 88888888 is getting reprted…

Eg:
The same text “Mobile Number 88888888” is present in second line, 7’th line and 9’th line of the txt document.

Hence after executing the regex, i am seeing the same value (i.e.Mobile Number 88888888) printed three times,instead, i just want to get it printed only one time

@Ram0803 Try below regex pattern with match method

       "(?<=Mobile Number[\s]+)[\d]+"

If you are already getting required value then use ur pattern with match method or try above one

hey buddy @Ram0803

  • if you are using Matches activity, do like this for example let us imagine you got the output of Matches as outMobileNumber

  • if you want first occurrence you can simple use outMobileNumber(0).ToString in Message Box
    to get the first Mobile Number

Let me know if this worked for you!
Cheers
