StartsWithPatternInputFormatPDF is used to parse a PDF file in which the beginning of each record is marked by a specific pattern defined using a specific regular expression pattern.

Configuration

The configuration names consist of the following parameters:

• hgrid247.record.startPattern
  Indicates the pattern that marks the start of a record.
• hgrid247.record.patternFlag
  Indicates the pattern flag.
  Default value: MULTILINE.
  Multiple flags can be specified by separating them with |..

Example

Given the content of the PDF document below:


To extract records from the PDF document above, use the following configuration:

Configuration Name	Configuration Value
hgrid247.record.startPattern	\\d\\d\\d\\d-\\d\\d-\\d\\d;

Output Result

The PDF document is parsed into the following records:

Record 1

Behavior

• Detects the start of each record using the configured start pattern
• Groups all subsequent lines until the next start pattern is found
• Outputs each detected block as a single record
• Preserves the original formatting of the PDF text
