Set(delimiters)
Sets a new DataMapper record boundary.
Delimiters
Sets a new record boundary. The delimiters parameter is an integer number representing an
offset from the current delimiter. If this parameter is not specified, then a value of 0 is
assumed.
A value of 0 indicates the record boundary occurs on the current delimiter.
A negative value of -n indicates that the Record boundary occurred -n delimiters before the
current delimiter.
A positive value of n indicates that the Record boundary occurred +n delimiters after the
current delimiter.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Specifying a positive value not only sets the DataMapper record boundary but it also advances
the current delimiter to the specified delimiter. That's where process resumes. This allows you
to skip over the processing of some pages/records when you know they do not warrant being
examined. Negative (or 0) values simply set the boundary without changing the current
location.
For instance, if you want to set DataMapper record boundaries whenever the phrase "Invoice
Total" appears in a specific region of the page. However, the PDF file has already been
padded with blank pages for duplexing purposes. The boundary should therefore be placed at
the end of the page where the match is found if that match occurs on an even page, or at the
end of the next blank page, if the match occurs on an odd page. Recall that for PDF files, the
natural delimiter is a PDF page. The JavaScript code would look something like the following:
var myRegion = region.createRegion(150,220,200,240);
if(boundaries.find("Invoice Total",myRegion).found) {
