with element located and Attribute declared, NDS extracts content from the target element. But sometime you might want to transform the content before saving to the output table. For example, remove some redundant prefix, or replace some text. NDS provides abundant built-in transformers, and enables you to write your own Regular Express to process the content flexibly. Click the preview and transform icon() after each field's attribute box, the preview and transforming dialog will be popped up.

Built-in transformers:

• Regex Refine Template It provides various built-in Regex to simplify content refining. For example,

  • Integer: to extract integer only from the content
  • Number:to extract all numbers and point from the content
  • Email address
  • IPv4 address
  • IPv6 address
  • URL
  • Cellphone(US)
