IResource variable for Extract DOcument Data

[Alejandro_Velasco_Guerrer (Alejandro Velasco Guerrero)]

Hi all,

I was trying to use the activity “Extract Document Data”. The use case is as follows: I want to find some information via the prompt inside a document that I have as a string variable. The problem is that the input file field in Extract Document Data has to be of the type IResource. I have tried a lot of things, transform my variable, do it via file path exists, etc. But the activity will not stop giving an error. Any ideas?

Kind regards.

Hi,

Can you try either of the following?

LocalResource.FromPath

OR

PathExists activity

Hi @Alejandro_Velasco_Guerrer

Assign activity: documentContent = “Your document content as a string”

Write Text File activity:

• Input: documentContent
• File Path: “C:\Temp\YourTempFile.txt”

Assign activity: filePath = Directory.GetFiles(“C:\Temp”, “YourTempFile.txt”)(0)

New Document activity:

• FilePath: filePath
• Output: documentResource

Extract Document Data activity:

• Input: documentResource
• Other properties: Configure the activity as per your requirements
