I have the following file:

 

And I need to export your content into a CSV file in the following format:

CODE;DESCRIPTION;QTY;COST

XXXXX;AAAAAAAAAA;1;$1.00

YYYYY;BBBBBBBBBB;10;$3.50

 

How can I condition to read only the data from the columns and bring only this information?

 

Thank you for the support!

Hi Flavio,

 

yes, you can read this information (at least for now), which goes to read a part of the OCR and tries to understand (via RegExp) where a "table" begins and where it ends. So as to take (always via RegExp) the desired values in output in the CSV using a DataExport module with %VARIABLE% created during the process.

Attached is a customer use case and in case of more specific customer support please refer to our support.

 

Just for info in the next monthly version there will be a new Smart Invoice module that automatically extracts the fields of an invoice cool.

 

Best regards,

Luca
