How to get the number and text content together when parsing word paragraph text

To extract both the number and text content from paragraphs in a Word document using Aspose.Words, you can iterate through the paragraphs and check for numbered lists. Here’s a step-by-step approach to achieve this:

  1. Load the Document: First, load your Word document using the Aspose.Words library.

  2. Iterate Through Paragraphs: Loop through each paragraph in the document.

  3. Check for Numbering: For each paragraph, check if it is part of a numbered list. You can do this by examining the paragraph’s formatting.

  4. Extract Text and Number: If the paragraph is numbered, extract both the number and the text content.

Here’s a sample code snippet in Python that demonstrates this process:

import aspose.words as aw

# Load the document
doc = aw.Document("path/to/your/document.docx")

# Iterate through paragraphs
for para in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, True):
    # Check if the paragraph is part of a list
    if para.paragraph_format.list_format.is_list_item:
        # Get the number associated with the paragraph
        number = para.paragraph_format.list_format.list_level_number
        # Get the text content of the paragraph
        text = para.get_text()
        print(f"Number: {number}, Text: {text}")

Explanation:

  • The is_list_item property checks if the paragraph is part of a list.
  • The list_level_number property retrieves the level of the list item, which can be used to determine the numbering.
  • The get_text() method extracts the text content of the paragraph.

This approach allows you to effectively gather both the numbering and the text content from paragraphs in your Word document. For more detailed information on working with paragraphs and lists, you can refer to the Aspose.Words documentation here and here.

Can you help me implement it in Java?

@supeiwei Please try suing the following code:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");
doc.updateListLabels();
System.out.println(doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
