Aspose.Cells WorkSheet.PageSetup.GetCommands() method is not returning Text

Aspose.Cells Product Family
#1

We are trying to read the Headers and Footers, but when the text contains the commands, like Page number or SheetName, we’re getting null as Text even though the Type is proper.

ws.Name is “Activity”
s being passed as &A

ws.PageSetup.GetCommands(s) is returning one item with Type as SheetName but Text as null

private String GetHeaderFooterText(Worksheet ws, String s)
{
	StringBuilder ret = new StringBuilder();
	IgnoreExceptionHelper.Do(() =>
	{
		if (s != null && ws.PageSetup.GetCommands(s) != null)
		{
			foreach (HeaderFooterCommand hfc in ws.PageSetup.GetCommands(s))
			{
				ret.Append(hfc.Text);
			}
		}
	});
	return ret.ToString();
}

Can you help us out here?

Or let us know if we have to follow different approach to achieve the expected result.

@shivanandchikkalli,
We can’t find your sample file “testing-header-footer-issue-e4.xlsx” in the compressed package. Would you like to provide it?

If HeaderFooterCommand.Type is not HeaderFooterCommandType.Text , HeaderFooterCommand.Text should be null for Its type represents its meaning.
Please add text as the following codes:
private static String GetHeaderFooterText(Worksheet ws, String s)
{
StringBuilder ret = new StringBuilder();
if (s != null && ws.PageSetup.GetCommands(s) != null)
{
foreach (HeaderFooterCommand hfc in ws.PageSetup.GetCommands(s))
{
switch(hfc.Type)
{
case HeaderFooterCommandType.Text:
ret.Append(hfc.Text);
break;
case HeaderFooterCommandType.SheetName:
ret.Append(ws.Name);
break;
case HeaderFooterCommandType.FileName:
string f = ws.Workbook.FileName;
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(f))
{
ret.Append(Path.GetFileName(f));
}
else
{
ret.Append(“Book1.xlsx”);
}
break;
//…
}

                }
            }
            return ret.ToString();
        }

We can not simply return text for some command types of header and footer.: such as CurrentPage, Pagecount, Picture.
