is it possible to tell hazel to stop if a condition occurs?

[bellamerighi]

Hi, I'm able to instruct hazel to get the invoice number inside a file.pdf unfortunately hazel, who's searching for numbers, get, sometimes, even the near/sequent date of the invoice. cause the date of the invoice has ever the same pattern (01-01-19) is there a way to stop hazel just before it reach the date of the invoice?

You can add the date to the pattern to account for it. Unless you have two dates in which case you'll have to do something else.

There is just one date, but I haven't understood your tip

all invoices have the same template, of course the vendors, invoice numbers and date changes



and this is my hazel setup

Use the preview feature so you can view the contents of the file as Hazel sees it.

As for my tip, just as you use the TD01 preceding the text you want, you can also use the date afterwards in the pattern to bracket it in the pattern.
