Count no of Lines in a Paragraph

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi,

For a certain word document manipulation, I need to get the no of lines in a paragraph within a table cell. The requirement is that the text/content should not overflow to next line. If in case it is extending to next line, I need to decrease the font size of the text to fit into a single line. When I read the paragraph the only Control char I find is the paragraph break. Is there any way that I can achieve it using aspose.words dll ?

@pprasad,

It is to update you that, we will close the issue WORDSNET-17187. You can build logic on the following code to calculate number of lines in Paragraphs:

Document document = new Document("D:\\Temp\\input.doc");

var collector = new LayoutCollector(document);
var it = new LayoutEnumerator(document);

foreach (Paragraph paragraph in document.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    var paraBreak = collector.GetEntity(paragraph);

    object stop = null;
    var prevItem = paragraph.PreviousSibling;
    if (prevItem != null)
    {
        var prevBreak = collector.GetEntity(prevItem);
        if (prevItem is Paragraph)
        {
            it.Current = collector.GetEntity(prevItem); // para break
            it.MoveParent();    // last line
            stop = it.Current;
        }
        else if (prevItem is Table)
        {
            var table = (Table)prevItem;
            it.Current = collector.GetEntity(table.LastRow.LastCell.LastParagraph); // cell break
            it.MoveParent();    // cell
            it.MoveParent();    // row
            stop = it.Current;
        }
        else
        {
            throw new Exception();
        }
    }

    it.Current = paraBreak;
    it.MoveParent();

    // We move from line to line in a paragraph.
    // When paragraph spans multiple pages the we will follow across them.
    var count = 1;
    while (it.Current != stop)
    {
        if (!it.MovePreviousLogical())
            break;
        count++;
    }

    const int MAX_CHARS = 16;
    var paraText = paragraph.GetText();
    if (paraText.Length > MAX_CHARS)
        paraText = $"{paraText.Substring(0, MAX_CHARS)}...";

    Console.WriteLine($"Paragraph '{paraText}' has {count} line(-s).");
}
