@Mark028

To search for hyperlinks or URLs that contain a specific keyword and replace that keyword in the hyperlink and URL using Aspose.Words for Java, you can follow the example below. This code demonstrates how to find all hyperlinks in a Word document and modify their target URLs and display names based on a specified keyword.

Example Code

import com.aspose.words.*;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

@Test
public class ReplaceHyperlinks {
    @Test
    public void replaceKeywordInHyperlinks() throws Exception {
        Document doc = new Document("path/to/your/document.docx");

        // Define the keyword to search for
        String keyword = "oldKeyword";
        String newKeyword = "newKeyword";

        // Use XPath to find all hyperlink fields in the document
        NodeList fieldStarts = doc.selectNodes("//FieldStart");
        for (FieldStart fieldStart : (Iterable<FieldStart>) fieldStarts) {
            if (fieldStart.getFieldType() == FieldType.FIELD_HYPERLINK) {
                Hyperlink hyperlink = new Hyperlink(fieldStart);

                // Check if the hyperlink is not local (i.e., it has a URL)
                if (!hyperlink.isLocal()) {
                    // Replace the keyword in the hyperlink's target URL
                    String targetUrl = hyperlink.getTarget();
                    if (targetUrl.contains(keyword)) {
                        hyperlink.setTarget(targetUrl.replace(keyword, newKeyword));
                    }

                    // Replace the keyword in the hyperlink's display name
                    String displayName = hyperlink.getName();
                    if (displayName.contains(keyword)) {
                        hyperlink.setName(displayName.replace(keyword, newKeyword));
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        // Save the modified document
        doc.save("path/to/your/modified_document.docx");
    }
}

Explanation

  1. Document Loading: The document is loaded from a specified path.
  2. Keyword Definition: Define the keywords for searching and replacing.
  3. XPath Selection: Use XPath to select all hyperlink fields in the document.
  4. Hyperlink Processing: For each hyperlink, check if it is not local (i.e., it has a URL). If it contains the specified keyword, replace it with the new keyword in both the target URL and the display name.
  5. Document Saving: Finally, save the modified document to a new file.

This approach allows you to effectively search and replace keywords in hyperlinks within a Word document using Aspose.Words for Java.

For more details, you can refer to the Aspose.Words for Java documentation.

@Mark028 You can use the following code to achieve what you need:

doc = aw.Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx")

for f in doc.range.fields:
    if f.type == aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_HYPERLINK:
        f = f.as_field_hyperlink()
        f.address = f.address.replace("PLACEHOLDER", "replacement")

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx")
