Please find attached the FlexText configuration. However, it refers to the simplified CSV-File shortPauschForum.txt.

(I just started to work with MapForce ...)

I got a CSV-File (; is the separator) with following format (see attachment):
The fist line contains some column headings. The next lines have the same format and contain the data. They look as follows:
"SHEABR;4711;135580105;some text;1;2;8;Adam 1;03/08/1959;1038988;1;;Adam 2;03/08/1959;1238988;;1;Adam 3;03/08/1959;7038988;1;;..."

The items up to the first "Adam" are of no interest. After that some blocks of 5 items each follow. The final goal of "MapForcing" that file is a file, which has these "5 item blocks" as lines.
With FlexText I managed to
1. Split of the first line
2. Cut of the part of no interest from each line
3. Split the "5 item blocks"

To achieve goal 3, I used a regular expression. The problem is, that the data matching the regular expression is lost. Is there a way to avoid this?
