Hello.
I want to be able to find a sequence of ten numbers in a pdf. I was thinking of reading through each character of the pdf and using an if statement with the isNaN function, however, I'm not sure if that's even possible because I don't know how to read each character in a pdf. If there is another method on how to do this, then that would be fine, too.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you.
It's formatted like...
1234567891
And I want to get the sequence as it is in the pdf.
Use a loop to iterate over all the words in all the pages in the file (using the getPageNthWord and the getPageNumWords methods of the Document object), and then a simple Regular Expression to check if it's a 10-digit number. Something like this:
loop1:
for (var p=0; p<this.numPages; p++) {
var numWords = this.getPageNumWords(p);
for (var i=0; i<numWords; i++) {
var word = this.getPageNthWord(p,i,true);
if (/^\d{10}$/.test(word)) {
console.println("Found it: " + word);
break loop1;
}
}
}
