Using a pdf as a data source.
I'm trying to set a condition on a data selection captured from a pdf. I can right click and choose 'Data Selection' and I'll get something like '=regionline(6.48,1.00,7.30,1.21)'.
Can I convert this or somehow trim the regionline selection so I can compare it to some literal for true or false?
Something like
=(trim(regionline(6.48,1.00,7.30,1.21))='XXX'
Can't seem to get the syntax to make this work.
Thanks!

Todonnell69:

You have an extra paranthesis in there. Try this:

=trim(regionline(6.48,1.00,7.30,1.21)) = 'XXX'

Whenever you have issues like this, always take a look at your "Preview" window, which generally contains a list of error messages encountered. It may be vague or precise, but it's a starting point (and something to post on the forums for better help)

Hope this helps,
Eric.
