I'm trying to extract numbers in a PDF file using extractFileText function. It returns string format data by reading a PDF file; however, the string data is not relevant for extracting numbers since the numbers are stuck together.
Let me show an example.
This is what I want to extract:
What I get is as follow:
Norm106.1696.589.589.92>102,17.5Sel58.5459.09-0.55-0.57NA0,-0.5Max106.1698.557.617.88
But when I copied the text by the ctrl+c in the PDF file, I got the result like this:
Norm Sel Max
106.16 58.54 106.16
58.73 96.58 59.09 98.55
9.58 -0.55 7.61
I'd like to separate the numbers in the string data or import text with spaces, at least.
What is the best way in this case?

Hi Kwangho Cheong,
You can use the function split() to split your output data
For eg:
Data = extractBetween ();
This gave me an output:
USEPoint#Cut↵↵[%]
a = split(Data);
