Extractor pattern to "end of line"
Question:
Say the HTML is this:
foo |
And you needed to get "foo" -- your subextraction would start with that leading ">" but you don't have anything to end on.. Such as: >~@MYVALUE@~ .. ? Assume you're locked into that pattern -- is there a way within an extraction pattern to say "and everything else left in this chunk?" If you just leave it blank it does not seem to pick it up.. Answer: Go to the token edit for "MYVALUE" and go to the regular expression tab. Enter: .*$ into the expression box and Voila! (this was something that stumped me for quite some time, wanted to share the love..) |
Extractor pattern to "end of line"
I just took it a step further.
By using
^.*$
for an extractor pattern that ONLY contains ~@DATARECORD@~ and NOTHING else, it captures everything in one field.
I'm using it in an instance where I want a bunch of subextractors on a pattern called from a script. If that makes sense.
Anyway, works great in this case!
