how hazel scan/read a document? Sat Jan 18, 2020 6:15 am • by bellamerighi
I'm in trouble (again) with electronic invoices. the best part is that every invoice has the same header's layout so it's easy to drive Hazel but sometimes, dunno why, a rule who ran good, now fails.

I'd like to know if Hazel read/scan the document row by row starting top left like reading a book, because there are 2 columns in the beginning.

Try using Hazel's preview function. There you can see the text as Hazel sees it. The order of the text may not match what you think.

So, how does the text look there? Can you post the relevant text as well as the pattern you are using to match it?
