Hi Team,

I am trying to move the cursor to above the table. My functionality is to remove a table and replace it with a mergefield where the table was present. But I tried the below code and I am getting Null pointer Exception because of no Previous Sibling

builder.moveTo(Table.getPreviousSibling());
unEditableIdentifier.remove();
builder.insertField(“MERGEFIELD " + mergeField + " \* MERGEFORMAT”);

Please help me in doing this funtionality.

Thanks,
Prasanna

Hi Team,

I am trying to remove a table and replace a Mergefield there at the sama position where the table was present.

Here is the below sample code,

String filePathSDT = "C:\\Users\\wb541348\\Project\\TestDoc.docx";
		InputStream instreamSDT =new FileInputStream(filePathSDT);
		Document doc = new Document(filePathSDT);
		DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
		
		NodeCollection<Table> tablenodes = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true);
		
		
		for(Table table : tablenodes) {
			
			builder.moveTo(table.getPreviousSibling());
			table.remove();
			
			builder.insertField("MERGEFIELD " + "Test" + " \\* MERGEFORMAT");
		}
		
		doc.save("C:\\Users\\wb541348\\Project\\Result.docx");

Above code executes properly at times , and it fails at times with Null pointer exception at builder.moveTo(table.getPreviousSibling());

Please let me know how to handle them, What if I dint have a previous sibling and How should I remove the table and replace a MergeField there in those cases.

Thanks,
Prasanna Shanmuganathan
