Merge text data with scanned layouts

rbuser

I've several scanned document layouts (invoices layout, customer order
layout, etc.). An external application write the data to be written on the
single layout into a textfile. Now I want merge those data into the
associated layout, for example the invoice data into the invoice layout. But
... an invoice have a variable detail rows number (1..10..100..1000 rows).
Any idea?
Thanks

Hi Robert,

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you set your detail band inside
ReportBuilder to print with a dynamic height, you will be able to display as
many rows of data as you want per record. If you would like to display one
record per row in your report, RB will handle this as well automatically.

Yes, I know. But the details records are in a text file
(article;description;quantity;price;article;description;quantity;price;......article;description;quantity;price)
following the header of the invoice (Customer, invoice date and number,
etc.) and preceding the invoice and tax totals, ALL in one row.
The next row is another invoice with the same design (head, details, foot)
but with different number of details.
What I want do is to merge a document layout with its data. The document
layout is different for each document type (invoice, informative letter,
customer' orders, etc.). The data are in a textfile, one record per row. The
tipology of the row-record is different for different document layout.

Thanks in advance

Robert

Hi Robert,

Unfortunately, ReportBuilder does not have any built-in feature to add data
stored in a text file to a report. You will either need to use a
JITPipeline to access the data from each text file manually or perhaps
display the entire text file using the TppRichText component on your report.
