Hi Team,
I’m trying to split the data from a word document based on paragaph. When I tried to get the text using GetText() method from a paragraph object, I’m getting the entire url and some weird chars. For eg. if i’m trying to get a link text ‘Google’ which contains the hyperlink ‘https://www.google.com’, then after using the GetText() method, I’m getting the below.
“\u0013 HYPERLINK "https://www.google.com" \u0014Google\u0015\r”
Please guide me to get the correct link text from paragraph.
regards,
Anish
@anishv3,
Thanks for your inquiry. Please use FieldHyperlink.Result property to get the desired output. Moreover, we suggest you please use Node.ToString method (SaveFormat.Text) to get the text of paragraph.
The Node.GetText method returns the text of this node and of all its children. The returned string includes all control and special characters as described in ControlChar.
I’m not able to find the above properties. I’m using the paragraph object and not Node. Also, how should the FieldHyperlink.Result be used ? I’m reading the entire paragraph and not a link text only! Could you please provide simple code sample for this ?
I’m trying to create a sample PoC using the code samples given in the aspose site itself. Please see the code snippet I’m trying with.

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET 18.8. Following code example shows how to get the hyperlink text. You can use Field.Result or FieldHyperlink.Result property as shown below. Hope this helps you.
//This document contains the hyperlink field
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
Field field = doc.Range.Fields[0];
Console.WriteLine(field.Result);
FieldHyperlink hyperlink = (FieldHyperlink)doc.Range.Fields[0];
Console.WriteLine("Hyperlink text" + hyperlink.Result);
Console.WriteLine("Hyperlink address " + hyperlink.Address);
Hi,
Thanks for your quick response. Probably I put the question wrongly. What exactly I’m looking for is to pull all the text with hyperlinks which are under a heading style say “Header 1”.
My expectation was when I pull that using a function GetText() it should bring the text along with hyper link as it is in the original document.
I understand the FieldHyperLink does pull the individual links but my point is, is there a function which returns the text with hyperlink intact.
Thanks,
Anish

Thanks for your inquiry. Please ZIP and attach your input Word document along with expected output content. We will then provide you more information about your query along with code example.
Hi,
I’m attaching both documents for your reference.
MainPage.docx is the input document and SplittedPage.docx is the output. We should be able to extract certain paragraphs based on the heading styles and create a separate document. Here, as in the example we need to create a separate document with paragraphs whose heading style is ‘Heading 2’ without affecting it’s formatting.

Thanks for sharing the detail. In your case, we suggest you following solution.
- Iterate over all paragraphs. CompositeNode.GetChildNodes method returns a live collection of child nodes that match the specified type.
- Get the paragraph’s style using ParagraphFormat.StyleName property. If it is “Heading 2”, please do the step 3.
- Iterate over next paragraphs and import them into another document until the ParagraphFormat.IsHeading is true.
Can you share a sample code for the above as mentioned earlier ?
@anishv3
Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the following code example to extract the content based on style “Heading 2”. We suggest you please read the following article and get the code of extractContent and generateDocument methods.
Extract Selected Content Between Nodes
public static void extractHeadingContent() throws Exception {
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "input.docx");
int i = 1;
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
NodeCollection nodes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true);
for (Paragraph para : (Iterable<Paragraph>) nodes) {
if (para.getParagraphFormat().isHeading() && para.getParagraphFormat().getStyleName().equals("Heading 2")) {
//if (para.getParagraphFormat().isHeading()) {
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(doc);
para.getParentNode().insertBefore(paragraph, para);
builder.moveTo(paragraph);
builder.startBookmark("bm_extractcontents" + i);
builder.endBookmark("bm_extractcontents" + i);
i++;
}
}
builder.moveToDocumentEnd();
builder.startBookmark("bm_extractcontents" + i);
builder.endBookmark("bm_extractcontents" + i);
for (int bm = 1; bm < i; bm++) {
BookmarkStart bookmarkStart = doc.getRange().getBookmarks().get("bm_extractcontents" + bm).getBookmarkStart();
BookmarkStart bookmarkEnd = doc.getRange().getBookmarks().get("bm_extractcontents" + (bm + 1)).getBookmarkStart();
ArrayList extractedNodes = ExtractContents.extractContent(bookmarkStart, bookmarkEnd, false);
Document dstDoc = ExtractContents.generateDocument(doc, extractedNodes);
dstDoc.save(MyDir + bm + "_out.docx");
}
}
