Posted on by Erik33

Hello,

I'm Looking for a way to extract specific info from .txt file.

I have several .txt files having all te same name but are stored in different folders.

In order to extract and store this file i need to rename them first.

- taking in account that i am using the free version of the PAD

The value needed is located around line 205 depending on the file.

what i need the data 2th lines after specific word "Paramètres:"

the info (value) can have space

the info (value) has no fixed number of characters

Thank you

    Is the variable text or list?  If it is text, make it a list by using Split Text and use New Line as the delimiter, this variable should save as %TextList%

    Loop 200 to %TextList.Count% increment of 1

        If %TextList[LoopIndex]% = Parameter:

            Set %TextValue% = %LoopIndex + 2%

            Exit (Loop)

        EndIf

    End (Loop)

     

    then use replace text to remove the (ID=0)

     

    good luck!

    Could always regex it, doesn't matter what line the value is on.

    The Id number after the value could be any digit also.

    Ive included several line breaks ( zero to 5)

     

    (?<=Parameter:\r{0,5}\n{0,5})(.+)(?=\(Id=\d*\))
