Repeat Step Properties
The Repeat step is a loop that runs more than once. There are multiple types of repeat steps
used for different actions. Repeat steps do not automatically move the pointer in the file. In
order to avoid infinite loops, a Goto step must be present within the loop itself.
By default, if an Extract step is added within a Repeat step, its extraction is made in a Details
Table.
Description
This subsection is collapsed by default in the interface, to allow more screen space be given to
other important parts.
Name: The name of the step. This name will be displayed on top of the step's icon in the Steps
pane.
Comments: The text entered here gives more details on the step and will be displayed in the
tooltip appearing when hovering over the step in the Steps pane.
Repeat Definition
ll
Repeat type:
l
While statement is true: The loop executes while the statement below is true. The
statement is evaluated after the loop so the loop will always run at least once.
l
Until statement is true: The loop executes until the statement below is true. The
statement is evaluated before the loop so the loop may not run at all.
l
Until no more elements (for Text, CSV, Database and PDF files only): The loop
executes as long as there are elements left as selected below.
l
For Each (for XMLfiles only): The loop executes for all nodes on a specified level.
