@markosc ,
Hope the below is understandable :
mc.Select(...)
: Within this part of the code, theSelect
method is used on theMatches
activity output, which is a Collection. It is employed to transform each element of themc
collection into a new structure. In this context, it’s converting eachMatch
object inmc
into an array of values.Function(x)
represents an individualMatch
objectx
within themc
collection.OutputDT.Rows.Add(...)
: Within theSelect
function, for eachMatch
objectx
, a new row is appended to theOutputDT
DataTable. This row is filled with values retrieved from the subsequent expression.Enumerable.Range(1, 4)
: This generates a sequence of integers starting from 1 and ending at 4 (inclusive). The sequence contains the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4..Select(Function(i) x.Groups(i).ToString.Trim).ToArray
: For each number in the sequence (1, 2, 3, 4), it accesses the corresponding group from theMatch
objectx
, converts it to a string, and trims any leading or trailing whitespace. The outcome is an array of strings containing values extracted from matched groups..CopyToDataTable
: In conclusion, the resultant array of arrays (representing values from the matched groups within eachMatch
object) is transformed into a fresh DataTable using theCopyToDataTable
method. This DataTable is then populated with the extracted data.
