Hi Vinod,

Thanks for your inquiry. You can get the text of Paragraphs containing particular strings as follows:

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"sample.docx");
foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    string text = para.ToString(SaveFormat.Text);
    if (text.Contains("Patient:") || text.Contains("Claim:") || text.Contains("Acct No.:"))
        Console.WriteLine(text);
}

Best regards,

Thanks for your response, Can you please let us know if there is an option of getting the values directly from the stream writing it to a memory stream instead of writing it to a file again?

Hi There.

I am using the Replace function of Aspose to replace a string in a document, I wanna know how do we handle null exception if I do not have any dynamic value with which I would replace the existing:

doc.Range.Replace("<SUBSCRIBER / POLICY>", "", false, false);

Thanks & Regards,

Hi There,

I am using the below code to find and replace: I want to know how do we handle the Null point exception if the values to replace are Null, like reqs.payerName have a null value.

doc.Range.Replace("", reqs.payerName, false, false);
doc.Range.Replace("", reqs.PatientName, false, false);
doc.Range.Replace("<SUBSCRIBER / POLICY>", reqs.Subscriber_Policy, false, false);

Thanks & Regards,
Vinod

Hi Vinod,

Thanks for your inquiry. You can use following code to determine if the incoming value is null or not:

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(reqs.payerName))
    doc.Range.Replace("", reqs.payerName, false, false);

Hope, this helps.

Hi There,

I am trying to extract a String Value from a Document (attached) using the below code:

foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    string text = para.ToString(SaveFormat.Text);
    if (text.Contains("Unit#:"))
        String UnitNum = text.Replace("Unit#:", "").Trim().PadLeft(5, ‘0’);
}

I am expecting the result to be “01234” but instead I get the result as "1234

Second Level Appeal
Via Certified Mail "

Can you please help me in getting the desired result, I should not get the added lines and strings "Second Level Appeal Via Certified Mail “”

Thanks & Regards,

Vinod

Hi Vinod,

Thanks for your inquiry. The problem occurs because a Paragraph has a Shape with three child Paragraphs. Please try using the following code:

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"test.docx");
Shape shape = (Shape)doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true)[0];
foreach (Paragraph para in shape.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    string text = para.ToString(SaveFormat.Text);
    if (text.Contains("Unit#:"))
    {
        String UnitNum = text.Replace("Unit#:", "").Trim().PadLeft(5, '0');
        Console.WriteLine(UnitNum);
    }
}

Hope, this helps.

Actually adding the below code helped to work it out:

foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    string text = para.ToString(SaveFormat.Text);
    if (text.Contains("Unit#:"))
        onBaseResponse.UnitNum = text.Replace("Unit#:", "").Split(new[] { ‘\r’, ‘\n’ }).FirstOrDefault().Trim().PadLeft(5, ‘0’);
}

Thank You,

Vinod
