Remove $ from results

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I've built several AI models that extract data from PDFs. They send the results as input variables to my PAD flow. I know how to use the parse feature to replace $ with nothing. I have over 100 of these elements.  Is there a quick way to accomplish this?

I have the same question (0)

    Can you predefined all your variables in a list and run:

    for each %item% in list, replace $ in %item% and save to %item%. Idk if it will save it back to item or save it back to the original variable. 

    if that doesn’t work

    list each variable in excel, run the replace rule on the entire column and write each variable back, but I would consider that the long way.

    I'm not sure how to predefine them to a list?

    I went into my PAD flow and tried to define the variable as a number instead of a text and got an error from PA when it tried to input the value.

    I think I follow you now. I'll try creating a list and editing as you say. May still be about the same amount of work as taking each one and replacing the text but I always appreciate your input!
