Tip: The Extract Tool creates and configures EXTRACT, FIND and REPEAT. A detailed reference with examples is available, see Extracting Data From Files.
By default FIND alone will extract only the first occurrence of a match with its Value: parameter. REPEAT is a Parent to one or more FIND's to force them to continue to search through the file extracting multiple instances of their Value: parameters. REPEAT works in one of two ways:
If no parameters are set in a REPEAT a Child FIND will be repeated until the end of the file is reached.
