Hi Team

I need to extract few specific information from text files. The required field includes some Arabic words and numeric values. i tried to read csv/txt file with delimit with newline (The filed line numbers are not constant for each files), and export into a data table and I have use the string action as well (find, substring). But I'm not able to extract the specific content. any option to read selected specific fields from this text (Arabic).

    Hi @Nikhil K J​ ,

     

    I hope you find this helpful

     

    Please follow the below steps,

     

    • Use CSV/TXT Package to read the text file line by line
    • Include the If conditions to check the Arabic keywords
    • Whenever conditions find the keywords, please stored that line into the variable.
    • use the before/after or substring to get the value

    Hi @Nikhil K J​ ,

     

    Would you be so kind as to provide few sample text files so that we may be in a better position to assist you?

     

    If there are only a handful of strings you will to export from it, then you could achieve some of it using Regex, but I can't say for sure unless we have something to work with.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Ashwin A.K
