You can use RouteText processor

Routes textual data based on a set of user-defined rules. Each line in an incoming FlowFile is compared against the values specified by user-defined Properties. The mechanism by which the text is compared to these user-defined properties is defined by the 'Matching Strategy'. The data is then routed according to these rules, routing each line of the text individually.

Example:

I have an input data as follows:

nifi hdf
kyjkglhkghfgdsa
hdp jdfdf nifi

RouteText configs:

Route text processor having alot of ways to determine Matching Strategy and i'm using contains strategy and added new dynamic property as

required

nifi

the matched relationship from RouteText processor will give

nifi hdf
hdp jdfdf nifi

Only the above two lines having nifi in them so processor given results as expected.

Like this way you can choose any of Matching Strategy and add dynamic properties based on the strategies(i.e match regular expression means your dynamic property will be REGEX).
