extract all occurrences from txt file

[rubenfasilva]

Hello.

I have one

unstructured

txt file with several occurrences that I want to extract and save to another file.

For example, let's say that we have this text

: "I want to get file1.pdf and file2.pdf" - All I need is to have all the

occurrences that contains *.pdf" and save them in to a new file row by row like this:

file1.pdf

file2.pdf

Is this possible?

Thank you so much!

Hi

Read the file as a string using tFileInputRaw, and then extract the file name from the string using regex, for details, see below:

 

MyRoutine codes:

package routines;

import java.util.regex.*;

import java.util.Calendar;

import java.util.Date;

public class MyRoutine {

static Pattern pattern=Pattern.compile("\\s[\\d\\w]+\\.pdf");

static Matcher matcher=null;

static String result="";

  public static String ExtractFileName(String inputData) {

   matcher=pattern.matcher(inputData);

    while (matcher.find()) {

       if (result.equals("")){

       result=matcher.group();

       }else{

       result=result+","+matcher.group();

       }

  }

    return result;

  }

}

Hope it helps you!

Regards
