Block-by-block parsing is used to parse data from source text with search data block beginning and end conditions. Block may contain several lines.

Source

Set the source text data to be parsed from.

Start After

Set condition for beginning of the block to be parsed. The following operation modes are possible:

Begin of Data - The block starts at the beginning of the data source.

Defined Text - The block starts after the specified text.

At begin of line

Enables checking that the block beginning found is at the beginning of a line

Whole Text

Enables comparison mode in which defined text must completely coincide with the beginning of the block.

Match Case

Enables case-sensitive search for the block beginning.

Use Wildcards

Enables search for the block beginning using wildcards.

Use Regular Expressions

Enables search for the block beginning using regular expressions.

Include Defined Text into Result

Enables addition of defined text to the beginning of the block parsed.

Block Continue Until

Set block end condition. The following operation modes are possible:

End of Data - The block ends at the end of a text source.

Defined Text - The block ends before the text specified.

Defined Text or End of Source - The block ends before the text specified. If this text not found the blocks ends at the end of source.

At begin of Line

Enables checking that the block beginning found is at the beginning of a line.

Whole Text

Enables comparison mode in which defined text must completely coincide with the end of the block.

Match Case

Enables case-sensitive search for the block end.

Use Wildcards

Enables search for the block end using wildcards.

Use Regular Expressions

Enables search for the block end using regular expressions.

Include Defined Text into Result

Enables addition of defined text to the end of the block parsed.

In Result

Actions made with the result

Remove Empty Lines

Enables empty line deletion in the data parsed.

Ignore Empty Blocks

Enables skipping of empty blocks.

Output Variable

Set name of the variable data to be parsed in.
