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 to match Value: more than one time.

• REPEAT works in one of two ways:
  1. A FIND is repeated a fixed number of times using the Maximum Number of Matches: parameter.
  2. A FIND is repeated until a match is found in the file for the REPEAT→Stop When Value: parameter.

If no parameters are set in a REPEAT a Child FIND will be repeated until the end of the file is reached.

REPEAT
Optional Parameters:
Maximum Number of Matches:	Integer number of matches before Child FIND's stop searching.
Stop When Value:	Same syntax as Value: parameter of a FIND. When found, the REPEAT will stop all Child FIND's.
Stop Line:	Specify whether a Child FIND can also match the same line that the Stop When Value: matches. (default→'Include in Search' or 'Exclude from Search')
Type:	Data types to match to the object references set in Stop When Value:. (Integer, Real, Text)
