Mike GallagherSubject: Text File with Page breaks - How to determine in XML?

Good morning.

I have a text file that I want to create a Custom XML conversion for. It's basically a file full of letters with an address block, date and text. I created the regions and nodes for the first letter in the file, but I can't figure out how to get the conversion to recognize a page break. Column 1 of the first line in each page is a 1. I created a match pattern in the first region of ^1, but it didn't get recognized for page 2.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mike

Ivan,

Not sure I understand. I tried to define a custom XML conversion for this file of letters. I defined regions for the first page. I defined the first line of the page, and the first line of each page starts with a 1, so I specified that in a region.

The problem is that when the document changes to the second page, the custom XML conversion thinks that it's still part of the letter text of the first page. How do I get the custom XML tool to recognize a page break?

Sure, here's a sample with 2 letters. The real file would have multiples.

How would you like the output document structure to look like?

I can figure out how to break out the address lines, etc. What I'm trying to figure out is how to get a header line, address block, details of the letter in a doc format, and then back to the header line, address block etc. of a second letter.
