Find and replace forward is falling

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Find and replace that is going forward does not work. I saw on some posts (on this forum) suggestion use false for isForward parameter. That does not work for me. I need to process document forward as I am adding some indexes and direction should be as that. Is there any work around for this ?

Code snippet :

Regex regex = new Regex(@"something", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
doc.Range.Replace(regex, new ReplaceEvaluatorAndIncrementCounters(), true);

this snippet fails with :

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException was unhandled
HResult=-2146233086
Message=StartIndex cannot be less than zero.

Hi Muhammad,

Here are the code snippets and document in attachment. For description, I have in my document several occurrences of special tags that I want to replace with counters.
<*NumberCounter*> - number counter, starts from 1 and counts further
<*LetterCounter*> - starts from A, B, C, and goes further

I expect to process document top-down. And to have valid replacements. When I set true in Replace method I got exception. When I switch back to false, it works but I will have bottom up replacements that do not work for me.

private void ProcessTableOfContents(Aspose.Words.Document document)
{
    Regex regex = new Regex(@"<\*.+?(Counter)\*>", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
    document.Range.Replace(regex, new ReplaceEvaluatorAndIncrementCounters(), true);
}

private class ReplaceEvaluatorAndIncrementCounters : IReplacingCallback
{
    private int sectionNumberCounter = 1;
    private int appendixLetterCounter;
    private readonly string alphaLetters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVQXYZ";
    ReplaceAction IReplacingCallback.Replacing(ReplacingArgs e)
    {
        switch (e.Match.ToString())
        {
            case "<*NumberCounter*>":
                {
                    e.Replacement = string.Empty + sectionNumberCounter;
                    sectionNumberCounter++;
                    return ReplaceAction.Replace;
                }
            case "<*LetterCounter*>":
                {
                    e.Replacement = string.Empty + alphaLetters[appendixLetterCounter % 26];
                    appendixLetterCounter++;
                    return ReplaceAction.Replace;
                }
        }
    }
}

If you need more details, please let me know.
Thank you,
