I am using Document Understanding’s Regex Extractor to extract “total” from multiple pdf’s. All the pdf’s have multiple copies of the same page which I cannot remove. Trouble is that the regex extractor is extracting all the instances of “total” from all the pages. So if the pdf contains 3 pages, then 3 duplicates of “total” are returned. I only want the value extracted from the first page and not other pages. Any help is appreciated!
Hi @shrey.shah
Try with below expression
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match("Inputstring","Your Pattern").Groups(1).Tostring
Groups(1) → It will return the First value from the group

Thank you @Gokul001 for your time. I am using Regex extractor from the Document Understanding package so where do I insert the regex you mentioned? Sorry but I am new to uipath.
Ok I understood where to input the expression (in the advanced field right?). The field that I want to extract is total amount which has a pattern as “Rs. xxxxxx”. So in the expression you provided, “Your Pattern” will be substituted with “Rs.” and “Inputstring” will be substituted with?
Hi @Gokul001
This is the field I want to extract!
This is the regex builder where I am typing the regex you mentioned!
Hi @Gokul001
That is what I was doing previously as shown below:
But this is returning value from all the pages of the pdf. I only want the value from the first page!
If possible share the Input @shrey.shah
@Gokul001 By Input you mean the pdf files?
Yes @shrey.shah
Hi @shrey.shah
Have you try with selecting the option in the drop down
Check → SingleLine

@Gokul001 Yes it is working now. So Singleline basically extracts only the value from the first page?
Great @shrey.shah
Only for the particular Regex pattern you can use Singleline
If your Query is resolve Kindly clos this topic by marking solution. So it will help for others too.

@Gokul001 Thanks a lot!
@Gokul001 Sorry to disturb again but if I select the Singleline option, then along with the amount it is also extracting other details in the page as shown below:
I tried limiting the characters but then it again extracts the value from all pages even with Singleline selected:
Hi @shrey.shah
In this case use use string manipulation to extract the particular amount.
Can you share the data after extracting from the regex extractor.
Regards
Gokul
@Gokul001 I have uploaded the image of the data extracted for both the scenarios (Singleline+no character limit) and (Singleline + character limit) in my previous reply
