Aspose.Words does not identify hyperlink properly (missing URL)

Hi Aspose team,

I am using code from http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/How+to++Replace+or+Modify+Hyperlinks to process hyperlinks in Word document.

In attached test document (in BIN/Debug folder, Hyperlink.doc) you can find few links with TextToDisplay "G:\BBD_GES\Handbuch\1 Betriebliches\Amtsgeheimnis\Bestätigung Geheimhaltungspflicht.doc" but hyperlink behind this TextToDisplay is "\\nas2.winlan.net\g_6vb$\BBD_GES\Handbuch\1 Betriebliches\Amtsgeheimnis\Bestätigung Geheimhaltungspflicht.doc"

It looks like that code that you provided (where I am thankful) does not work properly as it returns as a hyperlink only TextToDisplay but cannot really find hyperlink.

Test project is attached.

Can you please review?

Thanks,
Oliver

Just to add - I tried also code from http://www.aspose.com/api/net/words/aspose.words.fields/fieldseparator

private static string GetFieldCode(FieldStart fieldStart)
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

for (Node node = fieldStart; node != null && node.NodeType != NodeType.FieldSeparator &&
node.NodeType != NodeType.FieldEnd; node = node.NextPreOrder(node.Document))
{
// Use text only of Run nodes to avoid duplication.
if (node.NodeType == NodeType.Run)
builder.Append(node.GetText());
}
return builder.ToString();
}

public void ReadHyperlinks()
{
// Specify your document name here.
Console.WriteLine("1." + DateTime.Now.ToString());
Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document("hyperlink.doc");
Console.WriteLine("2." + DateTime.Now.ToString());
// Hyperlinks in a Word documents are fields, select all field start nodes so we can find the hyperlinks.
NodeList fieldStarts = doc.SelectNodes("//FieldStart");


foreach (FieldStart fieldStart in fieldStarts)
{

Console.WriteLine(GetFieldCode(fieldStart));

//if (fieldStart.FieldType.Equals(FieldType.FieldHyperlink))
//{
// // The field is a hyperlink field, use the "facade" class to help to deal with the field.
// Hyperlink hyperlink = new Hyperlink(fieldStart);

// // Some hyperlinks can be local (links to bookmarks inside the document), ignore these.
// if (hyperlink.IsLocal)
// continue;

//// The Hyperlink class allows to set the target URL and the display name
//// of the link easily by setting the properties.
//Console.WriteLine("1. Hyperlink Target: " + hyperlink.Target);
//Console.WriteLine("2. Hyperlink Name: " + hyperlink.Name);
//}
}
Console.WriteLine("3." + DateTime.Now.ToString());
}

And output is:

2.04.03.2016 23:08:21
FILENAME \p
HYPERLINK "G:\\GBD_GES\\Handbuch\\SuchAnleitung.doc"
HYPERLINK "G:\\BBD_GES\\Handbuch\\1 Betriebliches\\Amtsgeheimnis\\Bestätigung Geheimhaltungspflicht.doc"
HYPERLINK "G:\\BBD_GES\\Handbuch\\1 Betriebliches\\Amtsgeheimnis\\Checkliste-Amtsgeheimnis.doc"
HYPERLINK "G:\\BBD_GES\\Handbuch\\1 Betriebliches\\Amtsgeheimnis\\Weisung Geheimhaltungspflicht.doc"
3.04.03.2016 23:08:21

So Hyperlinks.Target is totally skipped. Screenshot from Word attached.

Additional update - I tried also with FieldHyperlink but still same issue - URL is not recognized.
Coding was:

public void ReadHyperlinksNew()
{
Console.WriteLine("1." + DateTime.Now.ToString());
Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document("hyperlink.doc");
Console.WriteLine("2." + DateTime.Now.ToString());
foreach (Field field in doc.Range.Fields)
{
if (field.Type.Equals(FieldType.FieldHyperlink))
{
FieldHyperlink hpl = (FieldHyperlink)field;
Console.WriteLine("Hyperlink.Address: " + hpl.Address);
Console.WriteLine("Hyperlink.Result: " + hpl.Result);
Console.WriteLine("Hyperlink.Target: " + hpl.Target);
Console.WriteLine("Hyperlink.SubAddress: " + hpl.SubAddress);
Console.WriteLine("Hyperlink.ScreenTip: " + hpl.ScreenTip);
Console.WriteLine("Hyperlink.GetFieldCode: " + hpl.GetFieldCode().ToString());
Console.WriteLine("=======================");
}
}

Output:
