# Row

Matches all lines to the left or right of the anchor line.

A "row" is lines of text distributed along a horizontal line. Each matching line in the "row" must have a top boundary that's within 0.08 inches below or above the anchor's top boundary (total range is 0.16" inches). For example, the following image shows a red line that defines the alignment for a row of text:

## Examples

The following example shows extracting data from two consecutive tables using the Row method:

1. The first field has an anchor with two matches to avoid duplicate text in the second table. First the anchor matches the text `most popular on github`, then it anchors on the text `first` in a row. The method then extracts the top-ranked GitHub language name to the left of the anchor match.
2. The second field also has an anchor with two matches. It anchors on the row containing `Python`, then extracts the second percentage in the row to the right of the anchor.

**Config**

```JSON JSON 
{
  "fields": [
    {
      "id": "number_1_language_on_github",
      "anchor": {
        "match": [
          {
            "text": "most popular on github",
            "type": "includes"
          },
          {
            "text": "first",
            "type": "startsWith"
          }
        ]
      },
      "method": {
        "id": "row",
        "position": "left",
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "python_change_in_TIBOE_rating",
      "type": "percentage",
      "anchor": {
        "match": [
          {
            "text": "popular in search engines",
            "type": "includes"
          },
          {
            "text": "Python",
            "type": "startsWith"
          }
        ]
      },
      "method": {
        "id": "row",
        "tiebreaker": 1
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

    "type": "string"
  },
  "python_change_in_TIBOE_rating": {

### Notes

* To extract an entire table, see the [table methods](/senseml-reference/concepts/table-methods).
* To extract a column, see the [Column method](/senseml-reference/methods/column).
* In a row with optional empty cells, a tiebreaker can return lines from inconsistent columns. Use the [Intersection method](/senseml-reference/methods/intersection) instead.
* The Row method can't extract multiple lines in a cell. Use the [Document Range](/senseml-reference/methods/document-range#offset-y-parameter) or [Intersection](/senseml-reference/methods/intersection) methods instead.
