  • Patent number: 9971779
    Abstract: In a system automatically processing data from a first computing device for use on a second computing device, a registry file including a plurality of filename parameters is read. Each filename parameter identifies a matching filename pattern, an extract script indicator, and a read file indicator. The extract script indicator indicates an extract script for a file having a filename that matches the matching filename pattern. The read file indicator indicates how to read the file having the filename that matches the matching filename pattern. One parameter of the plurality of filename parameters is selected by matching a filename of a source file to the matching filename pattern of the one parameter. The associated extract script is selected and used to read data from the source file using the associated read file indicator and the read data is output to a different file and in a different format.
