Swap two Ranged SDTs

Hi,
I’m trying to swap two ranged sdts (the first with id -688534414 and the second with id 1766038418) without lose content on the attached file. I still can’t find an appropriate code solution. Can you help me?

Thanks in advance.

@ernestocastellano It looks like you have already asked this question in another your thread:
https://forum.aspose.com/t/moving-ranged-sdt-before-another-ranged-sdt/295938

Also, you can consider using the approach described here to extract content of ranged SDT into a separate document and then use DocumentBuilder.insertDocument method to insert it at the desired position in the document.

Hi @alexey.noskov ,
It may seem the same thing but It’s a little bit different. What I’m trying to do is to get the ranged sdt with id -688534414 move it to the position of the ranged sdt with id 1766038418 and viceversa (1766038418 in the previous position of -688534414) on the same document. I hope I was clear.

Thanks.
Ernesto.

@ernestocastellano You can use the similar approach:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");

// Get structured document tags.
IStructuredDocumentTag source = null;
IStructuredDocumentTag target = null;
for (IStructuredDocumentTag tag : doc.getRange().getStructuredDocumentTags())
{
    if (tag.getId() == -653446606)
        source = tag;
    if (tag.getId() == 1766038418)
        target = tag;
}

// Get child nodes of the source SDT.
Node[] sourceChildren = source.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false).toArray();
Node[] targetChildren = target.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false).toArray();
// Move SDT start and end
StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart srcStart = (StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart)source.getNode();
StructuredDocumentTagRangeEnd srcEnd = srcStart.getRangeEnd();
StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart targetStart = (StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart)target.getNode();
StructuredDocumentTagRangeEnd targetEnd = targetStart.getRangeEnd();

targetStart.getParentNode().insertBefore(srcStart, targetStart);
srcEnd.getParentNode().insertAfter(targetStart, srcEnd);
srcStart.getParentNode().insertAfter(srcEnd, srcStart);
targetStart.getParentNode().insertAfter(targetEnd, targetStart);

// Move child nodes.
for (Node node : sourceChildren)
    srcEnd.getParentNode().insertBefore(node, srcEnd);

// Move child nodes.
for (Node node : targetChildren)
    targetEnd.getParentNode().insertBefore(node, targetEnd);

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx");

Hi @alexey.noskov,
the solution given seems to work very good but I notice that the original Stds (with id -653446606 and 1766038418) are no longer StructuredDocumentTagRangeStart but StructuredDocumentTag. Could you tell me why?

Thanks.

@ernestocastellano This occurs because after moving content section break is removed, so the SDT is no longer a ranged SDT and is represented as a simple StructuredDocumentTag node.
