parse File Action Node
The purpose of this node is to convert data found within a file into a dataset.
The files that we can convert are:-
- RTF Table
- RTF
- Text
- HTML
- HTML Table
- CSV Table
In the case of a table the data is first read in as a table. We can then get the parser to search for a cell by giving it either a location, such as pt(0,0) or text to search for, such as TEAM NAME. When it finds this cell it will then return:-
Cell Above
Cell Right
Cell Below
Cell Left
Chars At Cell
Given the the rtf file we have below, let us say we want to extract the 2 Contact Telephone Numbers, the Team Name and the Team Location.
