Thanks for your inquiry. You can use the following code to convert a table to text:
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Node[] tables = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true).ToArray();
foreach (Table table in tables)
{
// Create new paragraph for string table
Paragraph par = new
Paragraph(doc);
// Inser this paragraph after table
table.ParentNode.InsertAfter(par, table);
builder.MoveTo(par);
builder.Font.Name = "Courier New";
// Insert string table
builder.Writeln(ConvertTable(table));
table.Remove();
}
doc.Save(MyDir + @“out.docx”);
/// <o:p></o:p>
/// Method converts table to string
///
/// input table
/// String that represents content of input
table
private static string ConvertTable(Table
tab)
{
string output = string.Empty;
//Calculate max string length of each table column
ArrayList columnWidhs = new
ArrayList();
int tableWidth = 0;
string horizontalBorder = string.Empty;
//Loop through all rows in table
foreach (Row row in tab.Rows)
{
//Loop througth all cells in current row
foreach (Cell cell
in row.Cells)
{
int cellIndex = row.Cells.IndexOf(cell);
if (columnWidhs.Count > cellIndex)
{
if ((int)columnWidhs[cellIndex]
< cell.ToTxt().Length)
{
columnWidhs[cellIndex] = cell.ToTxt().Length;
}
}
else
{
columnWidhs.Add(cell.ToTxt().Length);
}
}
}
//Calculate width of table
for (int index = 0;
index < columnWidhs.Count; index++)
{
tableWidth += (int)columnWidhs[index];
}
tableWidth += columnWidhs.Count;
//Build horizontal border
for (int index = 0;
index < tableWidth; index++)
{
horizontalBorder += "-";
}
horizontalBorder += "\r\n";
//Insert "Top Border"
output +=
horizontalBorder;
//Loop through all rows in table
foreach (Row row in tab.Rows)
{
string currentRow = "|";
//Loop througth all cells in current row
foreach (Cell cell
in row.Cells)
{
int cellIndex = row.Cells.IndexOf(cell);
//Remove line breaks from cell text
string curentCell = cell.ToTxt().Replace("\r", "
").Replace("\n", " ");
//Insert white spaces to the end of cell text
while (curentCell.Length < (int)columnWidhs[cellIndex])
{
curentCell += " ";
}
//Insert "Vertical border"
currentRow += curentCell + "|";
}
output += currentRow + "\r\n";
//Insert "horizontal Border"
output
+= horizontalBorder;
}
return output;
}
I hope, this helps.
