IMailMergeDataSource - getValue truncates leading spaces

Aspose.Words Product Family

Good Morning


I implemented my own IMailMergeDataSource and I struggle to get leading spaces into the word document. As it looks the value in fieldValue[0] is trimed automatically. I need some spaces for formating reasons. Is it possible to avoid triming the provided value?
I couldn’t find any information in the internet, so I ask here.
We are looking forward to get some advice.
Thanks

Hi Aspectra,

Thanks for your inquiry. It would be great if you please share following detail for investigation purposes.


  • Please attach your input Word document.
  • Please
    share a standalone/runnable simple application Java that demonstrates the code (Aspose.Words code) you used to generate
    your output document
  • Please attach the output Word file that shows the undesired behavior.
  • Please
    attach your target Word document showing the desired behavior. You can
    use Microsoft Word to create your target Word document. I will
    investigate as to how you are expecting your final document be generated
    like.

Unfortunately,
it is difficult to say what the problem is without the Document(s) and
simplified application. We need your Document(s) and simple project to
reproduce the problem. As soon as you get these pieces of information to
us we’ll start our investigation into your issue.

Hi


Thanx for your response and sorry for my late message.
I created a very basic example that demonstrates what’s not going according to plan.
The Project consists of 2 classes. It’s self-explanatory. Nevertheless a short description:
  • Starter.java - contains main method to start the application
  • ExampleMailMergeDataSource - the MailMergeDataSource

To Test the mechanism just call Starter.java with an argument that points to the example.docx
As a result the application will create a new file example.docx.gen.docx

As you can see the leading space will be truncated.
instead of
" first line"
the result is
"first line"

How can I avoid that?

You find all the sources attached. In src/main/resource you’ll find example.docx and the
generated example.docx.gen.docx

Thanks a lot for your support
best regards
