Read data between bookmarks from word document in c#

Hi,

I am trying to read data between 2 bookmarks except Numbering in word document:

My issue is: I am able to read data between 2 bookmarks but only issue is that numbering is also getting read.
I want to skip the numbering data while reading document.

                SetLicencse();
                Document doc = new Document(fname);
                DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
                builder.MoveToDocumentEnd();
                builder.StartBookmark("DocumentEnd");
                builder.EndBookmark("DocumentEnd");
                BookmarkCollection bmCollection = doc.Range.Bookmarks;
                string bookmarkName = string.Empty;
                string bookmarkHtml = string.Empty;
                for (int i = 0; i < bmCollection.Count - 1; i++)
                {
                    BookmarkEnd start = doc.Range.Bookmarks[i].BookmarkEnd;
                    BookmarkStart end = doc.Range.Bookmarks[i + 1].BookmarkStart;

                    ArrayList nodes = ExtractContent(start, end, true);
                    Document htmlDoc = GenerateDocument(doc, nodes);
                    String sb = htmlDoc.ToString(SaveFormat.Html);
 bookmarkName = bmCollection[i].Name;
                    string a,b;
                    if (bookmarkName == "CurrentMinutes")
                    {
                        a = sb.ToString();
                    }
                    else if (bookmarkName == "BriefCompanyBackground")
                    {
                        b = sb.ToString();
                    }
                }

For Eg:
Word Document Data:
1.1 Summary

1.2 [Current Minutes ]
Current Minutes is need to defined here

1.3 [Brief Company Background, Business Summary]

Here 1.1, 1.2 , 1.3 are Numbering defined in word document.

Output while Reading Data:
“a” variable:
Current Minutes is need to defined here

1.3

Issue in output:
Here i don’t want 1.3 numbering

@pravinghadge,

You can workaround this problem by using the following code:

private void FillTextBoxes()
{
    string fname = textBox1.Text;
    Document doc = new Document(fname);
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
    builder.MoveToDocumentEnd();
    builder.StartBookmark("DocumentEnd");
    builder.EndBookmark("DocumentEnd");
    BookmarkCollection bmCollection = doc.Range.Bookmarks;
    string bookmarkName = string.Empty;
    string bookmarkHtml = string.Empty;
    for (int i = 0; i < bmCollection.Count - 1; i++)
    {
        BookmarkEnd start = doc.Range.Bookmarks[i].BookmarkEnd;
        BookmarkStart end = doc.Range.Bookmarks[i + 1].BookmarkStart;

        ArrayList nodes = ExtractContent(start, end, true);

        foreach (Node node in nodes)
        {
            if (node.NodeType == NodeType.Paragraph)
            {
                Paragraph para = (Paragraph)node;
                if (para.IsListItem)
                {
                    para.ListFormat.List = null;
                }
            }
        }

        Document htmlDoc = GenerateDocument(doc, nodes);
        String sb = htmlDoc.ToString(SaveFormat.Html);
        bookmarkName = bmCollection[i].Name;
        if (bookmarkName == "CurrentMinutes")
        {
            wbCurrentMinutes.DocumentText = sb.ToString();
        }
        else if (bookmarkName == "BriefCompanyBackground")
        {
            wbBriefCompany.DocumentText = sb.ToString();
        }
        else if (bookmarkName == "RatingDerivation")
        {
            wbRatingDerivation.DocumentText = sb.ToString();
        }

    }
}

@pravinghadge,

The following code should remove the extra blank line at the start:

private void FillTextBoxes()
{
    string fname = textBox1.Text;
    Document doc = new Document(fname);
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
    builder.MoveToDocumentEnd();
    builder.StartBookmark("DocumentEnd");
    builder.EndBookmark("DocumentEnd");
    BookmarkCollection bmCollection = doc.Range.Bookmarks;
    string bookmarkName = string.Empty;
    string bookmarkHtml = string.Empty;
    for (int i = 0; i < bmCollection.Count - 1; i++)
    {
        BookmarkEnd start = doc.Range.Bookmarks[i].BookmarkEnd;
        BookmarkStart end = doc.Range.Bookmarks[i + 1].BookmarkStart;

        ArrayList nodes = ExtractContent(start, end, true);

        foreach (Node node in nodes)
        {
            if (node.NodeType == NodeType.Paragraph)
            {
                Paragraph para = (Paragraph)node;
                if (para.IsListItem)
                {
                    para.ListFormat.List = null;
                }
            }
        }

        Document htmlDoc = GenerateDocument(doc, nodes);
        String sb = "";
        bookmarkName = bmCollection[i].Name;
        if (bookmarkName == "CurrentMinutes")
        {   
            htmlDoc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.Remove();
            sb = htmlDoc.ToString(SaveFormat.Html);
            wbCurrentMinutes.DocumentText = sb.ToString();
        }
        else if (bookmarkName == "BriefCompanyBackground")
        {
            htmlDoc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.Remove();
            sb = htmlDoc.ToString(SaveFormat.Html);
            wbBriefCompany.DocumentText = sb.ToString();
        }
        else if (bookmarkName == "RatingDerivation")
        {
            htmlDoc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.Remove();
            sb = htmlDoc.ToString(SaveFormat.Html);
            wbRatingDerivation.DocumentText = sb.ToString();
        }
    }
}
