Block Iterator

Used to execute a set of components for blocks at the specified text. Only blocks met the iterator condition will be processed. For every iteration the next appropriate block is parsed from the text source and placed to the variable. After that the set of iterator components will be executed. Iterator will finish its job, if the block met its condition was not found.

Result Variable

Set name of the variable block to be parsed in for every iteration.

Iteration Variable

Set variable name, which is used to place iteration number.

Source

Set text source blocks to be parsed from.

Start After

Set condition for beginning of the block to be parsed for every iteration. The following operation modes are possible:

Begin of Data

The block starts at the beginning of the data source.

Defined Text

The block starts after the specified text.

Match Case

Enables case-sensitive search for the block beginning.

Line Start Only

Enables checking that the block beginning found is in beginning of a line

Whole Text

Enables comparing mode in which defined text must completely coincide with the beginning of the block.

Include Defined Text into Result

Enables adding defined text to the beginning of the block parsed.

Use Regular Expressions

Enables search for the block beginning using regular expressions.

Block Continue Until

Set block end condition. The following operation modes are possible:

End of Data

The block ends at the end of a text source.

Defined Text

The block ends before the text specified.

Defined Text or End of Source

The block ends before the text specified. If this text not found the blocks ends at the end of source.

Match Case

Enables case-sensitive search for the block end.

Line Start Only

Enables checking that the block beginning found is in beginning of a line.

Whole Text

Enables comparing mode in which defined text must completely coincide with the end of the block.

Include Defined Text into Result

Enables adding defined text to the end of the block parsed.

Use Regular Expressions

Enables search for the block end using regular expressions.

Remove Empty Lines

Enables empty lines deleting in the data parsed.

Ignore Empty Blocks

Enables skipping of empty blocks.
