Hi,
I am not sure this is still in the scope of what Hazel does. I have documents where the date is written as follows:

Code: Select all

DATE: 21 march 2019

I am looking for a way to name the file based on such a date. Something along the lines of

Code: Select all

[...]
If contents contain match "march 2019", then variable = 3
If contents contain match "february 2019", then variable = 2
[...]


Then I of course use the variable to name the file.

Can this be done? If not, has anyone done this another way? I work with PDF files only. OCRwed of course!

Thanks for any help/advice.

You can't set variables like that but you can have separate rules with conditions like:

Code: Select all

If
    Contents contain match •some custom date attribute
    •some custom date attribute occurs on <<march 2019>>
...


Thanks for the tip! I'll work on it and see if I can make generic rules for other documents.
