  • Name
  • Email
  • Address
  • Contact Number

uploading documents formats will be different.

    you cannot do this until the documents have particular structure .. which is your case is almost impossible .Its better to get a form filled by user before uploading document – alwaysLearn May 30 '13 at 10:07
  • is this possible using java or something else? – Dam Forums May 30 '13 at 10:09
  • Its not about language but the problem is ..let you read a file .. how will you get which string is name ,email etc .. It is possible only if you have predefined structure with you – alwaysLearn May 30 '13 at 10:11
  • can we search the file using ley words such as name, email, contact nunber and etc...... – Dam Forums May 30 '13 at 10:34
  • You can find keyword but not there values ... how will you decide on boundaries .. I mean how will you decide where the name ,email etc ends .. – alwaysLearn Jun 01 '13 at 04:13
