File Management › Search File Content Operator

Search File Content Operator

The Search File Content operator extracts information from fairly small files. This operator searches the content of a text file or directory for a string that matches a specified pattern. The pattern can indicate substrings to extract into operator dataset variables. Delimiters in the pattern can indicate the zones to extract into the variables.

• For a file, this operator searches the contents of the file for the specified pattern.
• A group search is recommended to search large files that contain gigabytes of information efficiently.
