Optional: Filter

You can filter barcodes recognized in the document by certain criteria. This way you can ensure that only required barcodes are taken into consideration for separation and renaming. External barcodes (e.g. from suppliers) will then not be considered. 

You can use the following placeholders to generate the filter screen:

PlaceholderDescription
?

Any single character

*

Any number of characters

|

Separator, for specifying several filters one after the other

Examples for simple filter

FilterDescription
ER-*

Takes into account all barcodes containing information beginning with "ER-".

???;*

Takes into account all barcodes containing information with a ";" as the fourth character.

????????

Takes into account all barcodes containing information with a length of eight characters.

AR-*|*2011 

Takes into account all barcodes that begin with "AR-" as well as all barcodes that end with "2011".


It is possible to extend the functionality and use regular expressions to match barcode values. To activate Regular Expressions, tick the corresponding box. The characters used for simple filtering will be ignored. You have to either use a simple filter or a Regular Expression. Combining the two methods is not possible.
