Re: Regular Expressions in TestComplete

You will need to adapt the code presented here

to use within Python to pull the text out of a PDF file and process it.

Why automate?  I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy.  Sleep is a requirement.  So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.
I love good food, good books, good friends, and good fun.
