Program extracts oil and gas production data from specific format of
Monthly Production Reports *.pdf files and saves data to *.csv file.
Program converts each found pdf file line by line to text strings by using the GPL Xpdf software copyrighted 1996-2014 Glyph & Cog, LLC (email: derekn@foolabs.com).
This text is parsed checks by using regular expressions. Program has ability to configure regular expressions to some extent.
Program has command line arguments that start with '--' (eg. --path) and can also be set in a config file (scrxPDF1707.ini) If an argument is specified in more than one place, then command line values override config file values which override defaults.
Main parameters:
- --path: Path to pdf file or dir with pdf files to parse. Use patterns in Unix shell style.
- Can be specified in [input_files] section of configuration file.
- --tasks_list: Regular expressions names list. This is list of rows to parse.
- Each task must have regular expression "re_<Name>" (see below). Empty items is for skip lines without warning (besides of empty lines which skipped silently Default is "County_Quad_Pool, Buyer_Lease_Type_Active, , Permit_Well_header, Permit_Well, Permit_Well_end, Product_by_month_header, Product_by_month"
--"re_<Name>": regular expressions for each task where <Name> is name of task listed in tasks_list
- --out_path: Path to output
csvfile. It can be specified in [output_files] section of configuration file. - Here can be used <File_in> special string to substitute with
1st file name+. If no extension provided then ".csv" will be used. If file with generated name exists, then "_(N)" will be appended, where N = 1,2,3... is changed to generate new name.
--log: dir/path of log relative to output path. It can be specified in [program] section of configuration file.
Text <prog> will be replaced with program name.
