Information processing apparatus which extracts a character string from a file name and collates it with address book information

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for controlling a computer to function as:

• a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a file from a file generation apparatus;
• a second acquisition unit configured to acquire address book information including a facsimile number from an apparatus having a facsimile function;
• an extraction unit configured to extract a character string from a filename of the file acquired by the first acquisition unit;
• and
• a collation unit configured to collate the character string extracted by the extraction unit with the address book information acquired by the second acquisition unit to identify a facsimile number of a transmission destination of the acquired file,
• wherein the extraction unit uses a naming rule file containing a plurality of different naming rules where each naming rule is specified as enabled or disabled for identifying a predetermined position to extract the character string from the filename.

A method executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• acquiring a file from a file generation apparatus;
• acquiring address book information including a facsimile number from an apparatus having a facsimile function;
• extracting a character string from a filename of the acquired file;
• and
• collating the extracted character string with the acquired address book information to identify a facsimile number of a transmission destination of the acquired file,
• wherein the extraction uses a naming rule file containing a plurality of different naming rules where each naming rule is specified as enabled or disabled for identifying a predetermined position to extract the character string from the filename.
