Get particular string's paragraph index without iterating

Hi,
I have requirement, I want to find particular string (lets say “Abstract:” given in attached screenshot) without iterating paragraph & get Index of that paragraph(lets say abstractIndex).
So if, I want to access “Status:” paragraph i will not again search I will find it from index of “Abstract” as abstractIndex+1.
This I wanted to do because, in future if anybody added any paragraph before “Abstract” then the index for Status will change. so to avoid this i wanted to make it dynamic.
So is there anyway to do it with aspose.

We suggest you please implement IReplacingCallback interface as shown below to get the index of desired paragraph. Please read the following article.

Find and Replace

var document = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");

FindReplaceOptions findReplaceOptions = new FindReplaceOptions();
findReplaceOptions.ReplacingCallback = new FindParagraphIndex();
document.Range.Replace("Abstract", "", findReplaceOptions);

class FindParagraphIndex : IReplacingCallback
{
    public int index;
    ReplaceAction IReplacingCallback.Replacing(ReplacingArgs e)
    {

        Node currentNode = e.MatchNode;
        Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph)currentNode.ParentNode;
        index = paragraph.Document.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true).IndexOf(paragraph);
        Console.WriteLine(index);
        return ReplaceAction.Skip;
    }
}
