Claims loss run example

The following example shows extracting repeated fields from a section group containing a list of claims:

• It captures Sept and Oct claims by specifying sections that start with “claim number” and section group range that starts with “September” and ends with “November”.
• From each section, it excludes intervening text that isn’t part of a section but that does repeat (monthly_number_unprocessed_claims) using a Stop parameter. Instead, it captures this information outside of sections with "match:all".
