# Text2Excel
**Text2Excel** is a desktop GUI application that extracts data from text files and saves them into Excel or CSV files using regular expression (regex) patterns. It is built with Python’s `re` module.
## Features
- Add regex patterns via the **patterns widget** (right-click → context menu).
- Choose whether data goes into **columns** or **rows**, and select the target sheet.
- **Exact Order** option:
- Disabled → places data starting from the last filled row in the file.
- Enabled → aligns data strictly with existing entries (only in “put in columns” mode).
- Support for regex **groups**:
- Example:
```regex
\w{5}(\d)
```
This matches 5 word characters followed by a digit, but only the digit will be saved if wrapped in a group.
- Export to **Excel (.xlsx)** or **CSV (.csv)** (CSV available via the output file context menu).
**note: You cannot place multiple groups in one pattern**
