@ifranity Read the text file, store the o/p into string variable. get the value from excel file if check whether string variable of text file contains postal code value.

TextStringVariable.Contains(excelpostalcodevariable)

if it is true
display all the excel rows which contains that value.

Hi @ifranity

Could you provide more examples of the bit with the postal code?
You can use Regex to extract it from the above string, but it really depends on the amount of variations.

See this example Regex:
\d{5}
The full formula would look like this:
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(inputString,"\d{5}").ToString

It will find any 5 digits next to each other. For the string you provided, it only finds your postal code. However, if it happens that the string contains other 5 digits, it will return them as well.
You could naturally make the regex more robust by checking what is in front and after :slight_smile:

The scenario that Ihave is to extract from Invoice.pdf an adress of the client and after use the postal code or the city to type this into SAP,

I have a excel file wich contain the postal code - city - adress of client
the main problem is that I have different invoice so I have to extract that into text file and after search for postal code or city and look if it match with the excel file (clients.xlsx) and display the row in another excel file in orther to extract cells for SAP.
