Put YYYY, MM, and DD in seperate strings. Scan the old name for EXP (for length of filename, if = "EXP ", matching case) and cut the following 10 characters.Copy first two digits to a temp2 string.Assume the old file has the following name: 01_FileNameOriginal EXP YYYY MM DD Excessivetext.pdf.csv seems easier to modify the filenames later on.ģ.C to rename or not to rename. For the user friendliness sake, an external read from a. The array can be embedded in the code, or read externally. The former seems easier to do.ģ.A check first two digits, copy to a temp string.ģ.B compare the temp string with an array of predefined filenames. The result of the program can be either renaming, or returning a renamed copy. So basically it needs to be able to use a "for" statement (to loop for the number of files), and "if" statement to search for the "EXP" (matching case), cut the string and append in the rearranged format before the file extension. Some original filenames contain an expiry date, which is labelled "EXP YYYY MMM DD", and should be appended to the new name in a different format: "e_YYYY_MM_DD". csv, whatever is most feasible).Į.g.: 01_NewName1.pdf 02_NewName2.pdf. pdf, but this should not matter I believe.Īll files are start with double digit prefix ranging from 01 til 99Į.g.: 01_FileNameOriginal1.pdf 02_FileNameOriginal2.pdfĪll names must be modified to a predefined range of filenames (sort of a database) which can be embedded in the executable, or read out from an external file (being.

Stay connected as I am going to post more code templates that will make your web scraping life easy and manipulate data on fly.Gentlemen and -women, one question regarding programming: '''Strip HTML will remove all html tags of a column in data table.ĬolNew = ''Ĭleantext = re.sub(cleanr,'', row) Below is the code of template for stripping html:
I have created one template which I use to remove HTML code that comes while scraping badly organized HTML pages. Templates are stored at following path so you can create your own template with customized code. In many web scraping projects I found this template code very handy for cleaning data and making life easy. Step 4: Now you can see the code of that template, now you can click on execute icon and script will start running, based on number of records it will take time to finish execution. Step 3: Now the window will appear for configuration that will ask you to choose the table and column under that table on which you want to execute the code. Step 2: One popup will appear, you need to click on “Templates” icon and choose the template you want to execute and then click on Ok. Step 1: Click on second icon from right that says “Run Code” under the Data section Below are the steps how you can execute template python code on scraped data. This template comes with Fminer and few other template like “merge_tables_with_same_columns”. Remove the blank of data in the head and the tail.ĬolName = '' '''Strip all data of a column in data table Assume if you get white space in scraped data then you can easily trim this left and right spaces by just executing “strip_column” template, see the code of that template below. While Run Code Templates are the saved python code snippets that you can run on the data tables after scraping completes. The Run Code Action you can use inside the data scraping flow and python code get executed when scraper start running. In this post I am going to introduce one of the interesting feature of fminer which is Run Code Template that is recently added to Fminer, this feature is similar to “Fminer Run Code” action but it’s different in a way you can use it. Run Code Template – New Feature Added to Fminer Web Scraping Toolįminer is one of the powerful web scraping software, I already given brief of all the Fminer features in previous post.
