Pervasive Data Extractors are the tools that extract and parse data from unstructured text and report files and convert the data to a structured data file format that can be imported into virtually any application, spreadsheet, or database.

The Data Extractor enables you to: extract data from log files, extract data from report files, extract data from HTML files, extract data from XML files, extract data from print files, extract data from text reports, extract data from ASCII or EBCDIC text files, extract data from data reports, extract data from news retrieval, financial, or real estate downloads. The Data Extractor supports virtually any report architecture as long as there are rules.

Here are just a few of the features of the Data Extractor: auto-parse tagged data fields, auto-parse columnar data, auto-parse mailing labels, support for large data fields and records, support for floating headers and floating footers, support for multi-line data fields, support for multi-record type reports, and much more!

The Problem

Reports are easily read by humans, but not by databases or data management systems. Much of the world's data is tied up in reports and unstructured text formats that cannot be consumed by most applications. The extraction of useful data from report files and print files usually requires a custom script...thus requiring the services of a programmer. Pervasive Data Extractors are the solution!

The Solution

The Pervasive Data Extractors enable virtually anyone to create data extraction rules via a graphical interface and menu options. Simply define rules that identify the various lines and fields of useful data. Then, using the built-in rule de-bugger and data viewer, verify that the rules are working as needed.

Once your data displays correctly in the tabular row-and-column data browser, export the data to a delimited text file -- including unicode support -- that can be imported into most applications and databases. If further data cleansing, data manipulation, record filtering, or mapping is required, use one of the other Pervasive DataTools that fits your specific needs.
