Case sensitive matching in rule possible? Sat Aug 14, 2021 8:39 am • by webslash
Hi there,

I need to check the contents of a PDF-file for the existence of the word "Datum".
The problem is, that I don´t want to find it as part of another word e.g. "Geburtsdatum".
Is it somehow possible? I didn´t find out how.

Thanks in advance!

Will be be preceded by a space? If so, you can include a space in the pattern.

Thanks for your reply.
I forgot to mention that I tried that already.
There is no preceding space, so I need another solution.

In that case, you may need to use a script.

I tried that already unsuccessfully but I never programmed a script.
Is there someone who can help with an example?

Is it possible to offer this function in an update in the future?
Sounds like a gainful feature.

Possibly though probably not a high priority.

That's a bit outside the support I can give. Search the forums on how to extract text from a PDF (there are commandline programs out there that can do that). You can use that plus the 'grep' command in a shellscript.
