Note:
You can use the data from more consecutive lines on a single label. Change the option
Number of rows of the repeatable part when defining the repeatable area.
To create the document fields or fields in the repeatable part and link them to the
variables, do the following:
1. Click on the Add button to open Document Field Properties dialog box.
2. Define the field name.
3. Select the variable that will be linked with the field. The value of the field will be
transferred to the variable when the filter is processed.
4. Define the parameters for the Field Start and Field Stop.
Note:
The start and end of the area is defined using three parameters. Row number, Column
number and Prefix word. Only two parameters are required to successfully define the
start/stop area. For example, if you know that the data will start in row number 10, and
that required data is always preceded with string "Data #", you would enter 10 to Row
number "Data #" to Prefix word and leave Column number to 0.
5. Tick the option Truncate spaces before the first and after the last character, if
you want to remove the trailing and leading spaces from the value.
6. Repeat this procedure from step 1 for all other fields you want to set.
Note:
If no variables are defined, go to the Variable tab and define the variables.
Filter Text Database Analysis
Overview of Text Analysis Filter
Parses a structured text file for data that you want to print on your label. Structured text
files are ASCII text files with label data, text files with label data and optional label and
printer information, or XML files. ‘Structured’ refers to formatted data structure with
data organized in a table-like format, using a fixed width of data fields or data fields
separated with a certain character.
The samples below show a text database with fixed length of the fields that are formatted
in columns and a text database using commas to separate the data fields. Each line in the
file contains a record with data fields for a single label. Each column provides data for
one variable on the label. If the trigger data is available in a structured form, the
application can use the data immediately for variable fields on the label without
performing additional configuration steps.
