Finding Text in variable produced by "Extract text from PDF"

Posted on by Ernie-Velazquez

Hi All,

I have a daily report that i'd like emailed only if the report contains a specific keyword. I see we can extract text from a PDF, which is how the report is generated. What would be the most efficient way to search that variable for the existence of that keyword? That way I can create a conditional statement that emails the report only if the keyword is present in the text from the PDF.

Thanks!

Hello @Ernie-Velazquez

You can make use of Parse Text.

If the %Position% variable is greater than or equal to zero then the Text is FOUND.

If it is -1 then the Text is NOT FOUND

Remember that the position starts from 0.

And if your search text is a bit complex then you can use Regular Expressions too.
