Aspose Currency replacement Issue

Hello Aspose Java Team,

I am using Java Aspose api for word document. I am trying to replace the text Keyword “CURRENCY” in word document with the text “AUD $”.
Below is the sample code which I wrote for text replacement logic.

import com.aspose.words.Document;
import com.aspose.words.FindReplaceOptions;

public class ReplaceText
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        String dataDir = "E:\\Project\\Sprint 19\\Test_Aspose_Doc\\";
        Document doc = new Document("E:\\Project\\Sprint 19\\Test_Aspose_Doc\\3DS WW TM SOW Template - V1.9.docx");
        FindReplaceOptions test = new FindReplaceOptions();
        test.setMatchCase(false);
        //      doc.getRange().replace("CUST_ENTITY", "Sample Text Replcement",test);
        doc.getRange().replace("CURRENCY", "AUD $",test);
        doc.save(dataDir + "Final_Replace_Text.docx");
        System.out.println("Process Replace Completed...............");
    }
}

It is working fine for the commented line doc.getRange().replace(“CUST_ENTITY”, “Sample Text Replcement”,test); but when it comes for doc.getRange().replace(“CURRENCY”, “AUD $”,test);.
It gives the following issue -

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal group reference: group index is missing

	at com.anil.combine.ReplaceText.main(ReplaceText.java:19)

I need help regarding this issue. Please let me know If am doing anything wrong.

Thanks in advance!

@ketanpbh can you please attach your source Word document to try to replicate your issue?

@ketanpbh The problem might occur because UseSubstitutions option is enabled in FindReplaceOptions:

FindReplaceOptions test = new FindReplaceOptions();
test.setMatchCase(false);
test.setUseSubstitutions(true);

In this case $ is used for referring groups in the regular expression.

@ketanpbh,

The reason for this behavior is that the $ character is a special character in Java. You need to change the line as follows:

...
doc.getRange().replace("CURRENCY", "AUD //$");
...
