Configuring the Text Data Bank
...
The data bank can be used as is, but more complex scenarios may require additional configuration. The value may change during subsequent tool runs, for example, so the specific value may not always be extracted. See Configuring Extractions for additional configuration information.
Configuring Extractions
- Select the extraction and click Modify to open the tool configuration overlay.
- Enter a description for the extraction in the Description field. The description is for identification purposes only and does not need to be unique.
- Specify a name for the column holding the data being extracted in the Column Name field. The column refers to the fields in the Data Source Column Name column of the extractions table. Column names should be unique. Extractions with the same column name will be overwritten in order from first to last row in the extractions table.
- Specify the start of the extraction in the Left-hand text field and the end of the extraction in the Right-hand text field. Characters that appear between the patterns specified in these fields will be extracted from the Text Content field. You can enable the Regular expression options for each field to programmatically specify the patterns. Using regular expressions enables the tool to correctly extract characters if the Text Content field changed, set end-of-line characters, and so on. For more information regarding supported regular expression syntax, click here. In the following example, the end of the extraction is marked with a regular expression that matches a carriage return or semicolon.
- If the extracted text is to be used for a URL, choose URL Encoded from the Extract Option menu.
- Click OK to save your changes.
