#4027 Python REGEX Generator #4027 Once I have used Docling to convert a PDF file to a text file, including tables, how can I use Python to identify useful regex to extract data? Since you are using Docling , you likely have a relatively clean Markdown or JSON representation of your PDF. Moving from raw text to structured data via Regex (Regular Expressions) can be tedious, but you can use Python to "mine" the text for patterns and then validate them. Here is a workflow to identify and refine Regex patterns for your data extraction. 1. Pattern Discovery with re.finditer Instead of guessing patterns, use Python to scan for common anchors (like "Table 1" or specific NASA SWE codes) and look at the context around them. import re # Load your Docling output with open ( "converted_doc.txt" , "r" ) as f: content = f.read() # Strategy: Find a known anchor and see what the surrounding text looks like # Example: Looking for requirement IDs like...
