I have a workflow that receives PDF letters for processing to print. One of the steps is to extract data from the letter. Due to issues upstream, duplicate letters are coming in and I need to add steps to compare the data extracted (letter ID, name, address) to letters already processed. It is just a daily comparison, not ongoing. Currently, I write the extracted data to a .csv that is overwritten daily.
How would I take the extracted data (set as local variables in the workflow) and compare it to the .csv to see if that letter was already processed?
Thanks

@jrex : have you considered using Workflow’s data repository instead of a CSV file? That would allow you to use the built-in Data Repository API’s lookup() method to match data with the recorded data.
I have been looking at changing it to the data repository, just haven’t ever used that so will do more research on that and go through the information on your links to see how to do it.
Thanks
