I've found this activity very convenient. It would be extremely beneficial if the line number could be returned as an output for the 'Get String By Anchor' activity. Can you look into adding this functionality? Seems relatively easy.

It would also be great if you could include X number of lines before or after the anchor or “Line Number” input. That way someone could quickly isolate the text needed from a report.

For Example, I could quickly extract all 3 ID rows by finding the anchor, setting the “Line Number” input to 1 and taking +2 “Incremental Rows”. 

Could you please include a demo video on how to use this activity?. 

Awesome activity for processing flat files

When the document is structured or semi-structured you may have need to extract text pieces that have always the same fixed position (line number and column number) or the same position RELATIVE to another text piece (anchor). Given a text, it will automatically detect the new line string (i.e. LF or CR + LF) and gives you the activities to:

Get a string by coordinates (line number, column number, length)

Get a string by anchor (given a text anchor or a regex anchor you can specify the line number relative to the Nth occurrence of the anchor, the column number relative to the line start, the length to extract)

Get a string by column relative to anchor (given a text anchor or a regex anchor you can specify the column number relative to the Nth occurrene of the anchor, the length to extract)

For the last three activities you can even specifiy a list of words to be trimmed from the result.

Easily extract pieces of text by fixed coordinates  (line, column, length) or by relative to anchor coordinates

Quickly parse text files or text from semi-structured documents
