git clone https://github.com/Nordikk/pdf-moneysum-calc.git - Navigate to the directory:
cd <repository> - Install the required Python libraries:
pip install PyPDF2 - Place the PDF files you want to read in the
pdfdirectory - Run the program:
python moneyreader.py
The program assumes that all PDF files are located in the pdf subdirectory and have the .pdf extension.
The program reads the money amount from each PDF file that follows the word "Gesamtpreis" and calculates the total sum of all money amounts. The result is rounded to two decimal places and outputted to the console.
- The program only reads the money amount that follows the word "Gesamtpreis". If the money amount is labeled differently, the regular expression needs to be adjusted accordingly.
- The program assumes that all money amounts are formatted as "1,234.56 €" or "1,234.56 EUR". If the money amounts are formatted differently, the code needs to be adjusted.
