Hi, I have in my dotx file text “[Put_content_here]”. I want to remove it and start build my document from this place. How can I do it?
Hi there,
Thanks for your inquiry. Please refer to the following articles:
Find and Replace
Move the cursor
Please use following code example to achieve your requirements. Hope this helps you.
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
FindandInsertText findtext = new FindandInsertText();
Regex regex = new Regex("\\[Put content here\\]", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
FindReplaceOptions options = new FindReplaceOptions();
options.ReplacingCallback = findtext;
doc.Range.Replace(regex, "", options);
doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.docx");
class FindandInsertText : IReplacingCallback
{
ReplaceAction IReplacingCallback.Replacing(ReplacingArgs e)
{
// This is a Run node that contains either the beginning or the complete match.
Node currentNode = e.MatchNode;
// The first (and may be the only) run can contain text before the match,
// in this case it is necessary to split the run.
if (e.MatchOffset > 0)
currentNode = SplitRun((Run)currentNode, e.MatchOffset);
ArrayList runs = new ArrayList();
// Find all runs that contain parts of the match string.
int remainingLength = e.Match.Value.Length;
while (
(remainingLength > 0) &&
(currentNode != null) &&
(currentNode.GetText().Length <= remainingLength))
{
runs.Add(currentNode);
remainingLength = remainingLength - currentNode.GetText().Length;
// Select the next Run node.
// Have to loop because there could be other nodes such as BookmarkStart etc.
do
{
currentNode = currentNode.NextSibling;
}
while ((currentNode != null) && (currentNode.NodeType != NodeType.Run));
}
// Split the last run that contains the match if there is any text left.
if ((currentNode != null) && (remainingLength > 0))
{
SplitRun((Run)currentNode, remainingLength);
runs.Add(currentNode);
}
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder((Document)e.MatchNode.Document);
builder.MoveTo((Run)runs[0]);
builder.MoveToBookmark("bookmark");
builder.Write(@"Aspose.Words supports DOC, DOCX, RTF, HTML, OpenDocument, PDF, XPS, EPUB and other formats. With Aspose.Words you can generate, modify, convert, render and print documents without utilizing Microsoft Word®.");
// Now remove the matched text
foreach (Run run in runs)
run.Remove();
// Signal to the replace engine to do nothing because we have already done all what we wanted.
return ReplaceAction.Skip;
}
private static Run SplitRun(Run run, int position)
{
Run afterRun = (Run)run.Clone(true);
afterRun.Text = run.Text.Substring(position);
run.Text = run.Text.Substring(0, position);
run.ParentNode.InsertAfter(afterRun, run);
return afterRun;
}
}
