PAD problem with reffering to regex group names

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

Hello,

I have a problem with using regex group names in PAD. I have extracted a text from PDF, originally it looks like a table, but the option with extracting a table from PDF doesn't work correctly, so I've changed the concept. After extraction I've parsed my text using regex. My expression looks like this:

(?<lp>[0-9]*\s)\s*(?<h1>[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9])\s*(?<h2>[0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9])\s*(?<Time>[0-9]*) 

It is working correctly, saving all results in a list:

Now I want to export that list to excel sheet, and write every value in a specified column and row. I was hoping that I would be able to refer to the names of the Regex groups but unfortunately it is either impossible or I have too little knowledge to do so. 

Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Is there any way to refer to group names in subsequent PAD actions?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @IzabelaZarnowsk ,

     

    As per my understanding from what you have elaborated I have created a flow.

    Once you have list ,please split the list and then write it to the excel.
