This topic provides information about using the Extract Editor that allows you to markup unstructured data, extract the required data fields from various lines in the file, and assemble the fields into a flat data record.
The extracted content is presented in row and column tabular format, which you can view before converting the data to a target format. The extracted data is used as source in Map Editor for further data transformation activities. Extract Editor provides a rich set of pattern recognition rules and actions to assist in clean data extraction.
