How can one avoid capturing leading empty or blank lines?
the data I deal with look like this
"will be paid on the dates you specified.
xyz supplier [123445797891]
amount: $100.52 when: September 07, 2007 reference #: 0415
from: operating account [236424735]
abc, Jane'S CHOICE [0089456881545]
amount: $487.61 when: September 08, 2007 reference #: 0416
from: finess [0236454514]
"
regexoptions are:
multi-line,explict capture, ignorecase, dotall, ignore pattern white space
regex expression used for capturing
(?<AcctName>^\w*,{0,1}(\s\w*('s){0,1},{0,1})*)\s\[(?<AcctNbr>\d*)\].{4,8}amo
unt:\s\$(?<Amt>\b[0-9][0-9,]*\.\d\d)\s*when:\s*(?<Dt2Pay>[ADFJMNOS][aceopu][
bcglnprtvy][ya-v]{0,9}\s\d{1,2},\s\d\d\d\d\b)\s*reference\s*\#\:\s*(?<RefNbr
>\d*)\s*.{2,4}\s*from:\s(?<FromAcctName>\w{1,}(\s\w*)*)\s\[(?<FromAcctNbr>\d
*)\]
the exrpession used in Result(strGrps)
${AcctName} ${Amt} ${Dt2Pay} ${RefNbr} PCF ${FromAcctName} ${FromAcctNbr}
Result is
"
xyz supplier 100.52 September 07, 2007 0415 PCF operating account 236424735
abc, PRESIDENT'S CHOICE 487.61 September 08, 2007 0416 PCF finess
0236454514"
However desired result are lines with columns tab delimited and without
extra leading lines:
"xyz supplier 100.52 September 07, 2007 0415 PCF operating account 236424735
abc, PRESIDENT'S CHOICE 487.61 September 08, 2007 0416 PCF finess
0236454514"
what do I have to adjust in the regex expresiion?
thank you for your time and expertise
