Hi
We have found an issue with the Range.Replace method on a Run. It is blanking out the text rather than replacing and the ParentNode becomes null. This worked on the now deprecated Replace( Regex, iReplacingCallback, bool) version of the method.
The attached project demonstrates the issue. The same issue is also present when not using Replace with a callback (see commented out code).
Thanks

Could you please share some more detail about your use case in which you need to call SplitElements method? Please also share complete detail of your requirement. Perhaps, there is some other way to achieve your requirement. We will then provide you more information about your query.

We have our own text ‘tags’ that are placed in the Word doc to perform certain operations. In this case we are looking for the start and end tag for a loop function whereby the contents in between the start and end tags are duplicated a number of times. The SplitElements method is to ensure that the tags are in their own runs so that they can be manipulated separately from any other text.
We have tested the scenario and have managed to reproduce the same issue at our side. For the sake of correction, we have logged this problem in our issue tracking system as WORDSNET-20007 . You will be notified via this forum thread once this issue is resolved.
We apologize for your inconvenience.

We have completed the analysis of this issue and root cause has been identified. Instead of bug, it is a missing feature in Aspose.Words. We will planned the implementation of this feature and will provide you the estimate via this forum thread.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Thankyou for the update.
We were a little surprised to hear this has been allocated as an enhancement considering that the functionality worked in the deprecated version of this method.
However I would be grateful if you explain the difference in priority between a defect and a new feature. Does this being classified as a new feature mean this will take longer to resolve than a defect.
regards
Nick
Could you please share Aspose.Words version in which this issue does not appear? Moreover, please share working code example to test this case. We will investigate the issue and provide you more information on it.

I’ve modified my solution so that it uses v18.11 of Aspose and there’s now two buttons. One which uses the Range.Replace (Regex, IReplacingCallback, bool) method which works and one using the newer method which does not

The issue with the new Replace method
These values are as expected with the old Replace method. The textbox at the bottom of the form displays these values
Any questions, let me know!
