Cloning table rows

I am cloning table rows in a Word document that satisfy a specific criteria - e.g. the table row contains the text ‘Row B’. After cloning the row a number of times I want to keep processing through the rest of the table rows. At the moment, after cloning, control seems to return to the row I originally cloned - i want to continue processing table rows after the newly added clone rows - otherwise I get an infinite number of clone rows. Any ideas how I might do this.

foreach(Row row in table.Rows)
{
    foreach(Cell cell in row.Cells)
    {
        NodeCollection cellCollection = cell.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Run, true);
        foreach(Run run in cellCollection)
        {
            if (run.GetText().Contains("Row B"))
            {
                // clone row B 2 times
            }
        }
    }
}

I have included a document showing before and after examples of the table I want. I am using Aspose.Words 8.0.0.0.

Hi
Andrew,

Thanks for your inquiry. I think, you can achieve what you need by using the following code snippet:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\test\AsposeRows.doc");
Table table = doc.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0];
for (int i = 0; i < table.Rows.Count; i++)
{
    if (table.Rows[i].Range.Text.Contains("Row B"))

    {
        // copy two times
        Row cloneOfRow = (Row)table.Rows[i].Clone(true);
        cloneOfRow.Cells[0].Paragraphs[0].Runs[0].Font.Color = Color.Red;
        table.Rows.Insert(++i, cloneOfRow);

        cloneOfRow = (Row)table.Rows[i].Clone(true);
        cloneOfRow.Cells[0].Paragraphs[0].Runs[0].Font.Color = Color.Red;
        table.Rows.Insert(++i,

        cloneOfRow);
    }
}

doc.Save(@"C:\Test\out.doc");
