Hi,
I am new to PAD. using PAD i have to extract certain data's from the notepad. I wonder is it possible with PAD?
Eg:
From this notepad i need to extract firstname, DOB and Message Text Data's. Single file can contain 50 different client details.Please help. Thanks in advance!

I will provide a similar answer as others, but I believe using the "Parse text" action and regular expressions would be effective.
SET Datatable TO { ^['Firstname', 'DOB', 'Lastname', 'Fileno', 'Message Text'] }
File.ReadTextFromFile.ReadText File: $'''C:\\Test\\Text\\SampleText.txt''' Encoding: File.TextFileEncoding.UTF8 Content=> FileContents

Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Lastname:).*(?=Fileno)''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> LastnameMatches
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Fileno:).*''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> FilenoMatches
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Message Text:).*''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> MessageTextMatches
LOOP LoopIndex FROM 0 TO FirstnameMatches.Count - 1 STEP 1
Variables.AddRowToDataTable.AppendRowToDataTable DataTable: Datatable RowToAdd: [FirstnameMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed, DOBMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed, LastnameMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed, FilenoMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed, MessageTextMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed]
END
Since you are using @kinuasa code. Just add one if condition inside the loop like below:
Code:
SET Datatable TO { ^['Firstname', 'DOB', 'Lastname', 'Fileno', 'Message Text'] }
File.ReadTextFromFile.ReadText File: $'''C:\\Users\\deenu\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\data.txt''' Encoding: File.TextFileEncoding.UTF8 Content=> FileContents
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Firstname:).*(?=DOB)''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> FirstnameMatches
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=DOB:).*''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> DOBMatches
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Lastname:).*(?=Fileno)''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> LastnameMatches
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Fileno:).*''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> FilenoMatches
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Message Text:).*''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> MessageTextMatches
Text.ParseText.Parse Text: MessageTextMatches TextToFind: $'''Rejected''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False OccurrencePositions=> RejectedPositions
LOOP LoopIndex FROM 0 TO FirstnameMatches.Count - 1 STEP 1
IF MessageTextMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed = $'''Rejected''' THEN
Variables.AddRowToDataTable.AppendRowToDataTable DataTable: Datatable RowToAdd: [FirstnameMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed, DOBMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed, LastnameMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed, FilenoMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed, MessageTextMatches[LoopIndex].Trimmed]
END
END

If I copy and paste it into a notepad and deleted the data before firstname then it is working perfectly.
I think it would be better to use the “Parse text” action to get only “Firstname” and after.

I am suggesting .net script based solution for your use case.
My flow screenshot:
PAD action Explanation:
Variables.CreateNewDatatable InputTable:
- Create a new DataTable named DataTable with column names Firstname, DOB, and Message Text. Initialize it with an empty row.
Scripting.RunDotNetScript:
- mention the System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace.
- Define a C# script that performs the actions required action: reading the text file, defining the regular expression pattern, matching the pattern against the text, removing the first row from the DataTable, and adding extracted data to the DataTable.
- The script receives filename and dataTable as inputs and updates the dataTable with extracted data.
- The input and output parameters are specified in the configuration of the action.
Code[Change the input file parameter alone]:
Variables.CreateNewDatatable InputTable: { ^['Firstname', 'DOB', 'Message Text'], [$'''''', $'''''', $''''''] } DataTable=> DataTable
Scripting.RunDotNetScript Imports: $'''System.Text.RegularExpressions''' Language: System.DotNetActionLanguageType.CSharp Script: $'''// Read the text file
string text = File.ReadAllText(filename);
// Define the regular expression pattern
string pattern = @\"Firstname: (?<firstname>\\w+)\\s+DOB: (?<dob>\\d{2}/\\d{2}/\\d{2})\\r?\\nLastname: \\w+\\s+Fileno: \\d+\\r?\\nMessage Text: (?<message>.+?)\\s+\";
// Match the pattern against the text
MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(text, pattern);
// Remove the first row from the DataTable
if (dataTable.Rows.Count > 0)
{
dataTable.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
}
// Extract the required information and add to DataTable
foreach (Match match in matches)
{
string firstname = match.Groups[\"firstname\"].Value;
string dobString = match.Groups[\"dob\"].Value;
string message = match.Groups[\"message\"].Value;
// Add the extracted data to the DataTable
dataTable.Rows.Add(firstname, dobString, message);

Hi @Th11 ,
I have created a flow with 2 different approaches.
Approach 1:
Code:
File.ReadTextFromFile.ReadText File: $'''C:\\Users\\Downloads\\input 1.txt''' Encoding: File.TextFileEncoding.UTF8 Content=> FileContents
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Firstname:\\s)\\w+''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> FirstName
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=DOB:)\\d+\\/\\d+\\/\\d+''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> Dob
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Lastname\\s:\\s)\\w+''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> lastname
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Fileno:\\s)\\d+''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> FileNo
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: FileContents TextToFind: $'''(?<=Message Text:\\s)(\\w*\\s\\w+|\\w+)''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> MessageText
Approach 2:
Code:
File.ReadTextFromFile.ReadTextAsList File: $'''C:\\Users\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\Power Automate Desktop\\Practice\\Text File\\input.txt''' Encoding: File.TextFileEncoding.UTF8 Contents=> FileContents
LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem IN FileContents
IF Contains(CurrentItem, $'''Firstname''', False) THEN
Text.SplitText.Split Text: CurrentItem StandardDelimiter: Text.StandardDelimiter.Space DelimiterTimes: 1 Result=> TextList
Display.ShowMessageDialog.ShowMessage Title: $'''FirstName''' Message: TextList[1] Icon: Display.Icon.None Buttons: Display.Buttons.OK DefaultButton: Display.DefaultButton.Button1 IsTopMost: False
Text.SplitText.SplitWithDelimiter Text: TextList[5] CustomDelimiter: $''':''' IsRegEx: False Result=> DOB
Display.ShowMessageDialog.ShowMessage Title: $'''Date Of Birth''' Message: DOB[1] Icon: Display.Icon.None Buttons: Display.Buttons.OK DefaultButton: Display.DefaultButton.Button1 IsTopMost: False
END
IF Contains(CurrentItem, $'''Message''', False) THEN
Text.SplitText.SplitWithDelimiter Text: CurrentItem CustomDelimiter: $''':''' IsRegEx: False Result=> Message_Text
Display.ShowMessageDialog.ShowMessage Title: $'''Message Text''' Message: Message_Text[1] Icon: Display.Icon.None Buttons: Display.Buttons.OK DefaultButton: Display.DefaultButton.Button1 IsTopMost: False
END
END

Hi @Deenuji ,
Thanks for your response. From the below example i need to extract the Data's who is having the "Message Text" value. I tried. it throws me error says that Index "LoopIndex" is out of range. could you please guide me. Thanks!
I need to extract only the data(Firstname, Lastname, DOB, Fileno, Message Text) who is having the Message Text as a keyword.
Please try the below approach[Of course we need to think of optimize the code in case if its take more time for you]:
Code:
SET DataTable TO { ^['Firstname', 'DOB', 'Lastname', 'Fileno', 'Message Text'] }
File.ReadTextFromFile.ReadTextAsList File: $'''C:\\Users\\deenu\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\data.txt''' Encoding: File.TextFileEncoding.UTF8 Contents=> FileContents
LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem IN FileContents
IF (IsNotEmpty(CurrentItem.Trimmed) AND NotStartsWith(CurrentItem.Trimmed, $'''--''', False)) = True THEN
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: CurrentItem TextToFind: $'''(?<=Firstname:)(.*?)(?=DOB)''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> FirstnameMatches
IF FirstnameMatches.Count > 0 THEN
SET Strfirstname TO FirstnameMatches[0]
END
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: CurrentItem TextToFind: $'''(?<=DOB:)(.*?)\\s''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> DOBMatches
IF DOBMatches.Count > 0 THEN
SET StrDOB TO DOBMatches[0]
END
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: CurrentItem TextToFind: $'''(?<=Lastname:)(.*?)(?=Fileno)''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: True Matches=> LastnameMatches
IF LastnameMatches.Count > 0 THEN
SET Strlastname TO LastnameMatches[0]
END
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: CurrentItem TextToFind: $'''(?<=Fileno:)(.*?)\\s''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> FilenoMatches
IF FilenoMatches.Count > 0 THEN
SET Strfileno TO FilenoMatches[0]
END
IF StartsWith(CurrentItem, $'''Message Text''', False) THEN
Text.ParseText.RegexParse Text: CurrentItem TextToFind: $'''(?<=Message Text:)(.*?)\\s''' StartingPosition: 0 IgnoreCase: False Matches=> MessageTextMatches
Variables.AddRowToDataTable.AppendRowToDataTable DataTable: DataTable RowToAdd: [Strfirstname.Trimmed, StrDOB.Trimmed, Strlastname.Trimmed, Strfileno.Trimmed, MessageTextMatches[0].Trimmed]
SET Strfirstname TO $'''%''%'''
SET StrDOB TO $'''%''%'''
SET Strlastname TO $'''%''%'''
SET Strfileno TO $'''%''%'''
SET Strmessage TO $'''%''%'''

Hi @Deenuji , The above solution is working perfectly. But i am facing one problem , for the same client there is 2 Message text is there. when the bot is running it is throwing the error. In the output it should include the message text value into the datatable along with the previous client details. Please guide me.
Eg:
For ex, For "Smith" There is 2 Message Text Value. In the datatable under Smith it has to be like
Firstname Lastname DOB Fileno MessageText
Smith Test 33333 88000 Rejected ,
Rejected for this client because he did not pay the bill
I would suggest to go with .net script for the same:

So If you don't want to use script you can use my way.
First when you get content of the file you can split it into a list:
Then you could use for loop to iterate through the list in order to get the information.
In the for each loop use will have an if condition to check where the item is empty
and then you could search for if the item contains other information or just the additional message.
After that is the same list of actions to extract the information
And add that information to the table.
In that If action you need an else action so you can add the additional message to the table:
So in the Else action you first extract the message then update the last row in the table with the update data table item

If I copy and paste it into a notepad and deleted the data before firstname then it is working perfectly.
I think it would be better to use the “Parse text” action to get only “Firstname” and after.

TUESDAY TIPS are our way of communicating helpful things we've learned or shared that have helped members of the Community. Whether you're just getting started or you're a seasoned pro, Tuesday Tips will help you know where to go, what to look for, and navigate your way through the ever-growing--and ever-changing--world of the Power Platform Community! We cover basics about the Community, provide a few "insider tips" to make your experience even better, and share best practices gleaned from our most active community members and Super Users. With so many new Community members joining us each week, we'll also review a few of our "best practices" so you know just "how" the Community works, so make sure to watch the News & Announcements each week for the latest and greatest Tuesday Tips! This Week: All About Subscriptions & Notifications We don't want you to a miss a thing in the Community! The best way to make sure you know what's going on in the News & Announcements, to blogs you follow, or forums and galleries you're interested in is to subscribe! These subscriptions ensure you receive automated messages about the most recent posts and replies. Even better, there are multiple ways you can subscribe to content and boards in the community! (Please note: if you have created an AAD (Azure Active Directory) account you won't be able to receive e-mail notifications.) Subscribing to a Category When you're looking at the entire category, select from the Options drop down and choose Subscribe. You can then choose to Subscribe to all of the boards or select only the boards you want to receive notifications. When you're satisfied with your choices, click Save. Subscribing to a Topic You can also subscribe to a single topic by clicking Subscribe from the Options drop down menu, while you are viewing the topic or in the General board overview, respectively. Subscribing to a Label Find the labels at the bottom left of a post.From a particular post with a label, click on the label to filter by that label. This opens a window containing a list of posts with the label you have selected. Click Subscribe. Note: You can only subscribe to a label at the board level. If you subscribe to a label named 'Copilot' at board #1, it will not automatically subscribe you to an identically named label at board #2. You will have to subscribe twice, once at each board. Bookmarks Just like you can subscribe to topics and categories, you can also bookmark topics and boards from the same menus! Simply go to the Topic Options drop down menu to bookmark a topic or the Options drop down to bookmark a board. The difference between subscribing and bookmarking is that subscriptions provide you with notifications, whereas bookmarks provide you a static way of easily accessing your favorite boards from the My subscriptions area. Managing & Viewing Your Subscriptions & Bookmarks To manage your subscriptions, click on your avatar and select My subscriptions from the drop-down menu. From the Subscriptions & Notifications tab, you can manage your subscriptions, including your e-mail subscription options, your bookmarks, your notification settings, and your email notification format. You can see a list of all your subscriptions and bookmarks and choose which ones to delete, either individually or in bulk, by checking multiple boxes. A Note on Following Friends on Mobile Adding someone as a friend or selecting Follow in the mobile view does not allow you to subscribe to their activity feed. You will merely be able to see your friends’ biography, other personal information, or online status, and send messages more quickly by choosing who to send the message to from a list, as opposed to having to search by username.
