Tag inside table in MSWord is not replacing

Hi,

We use java aspose.words to find all occurrences of a character pattern specified by a regular expression and calls a user defined(TagReplacer.java) replace evaluator method. But the tag inside table in MSWord is not replacing by the replacing() methode.

//This is my sample code in main methode,
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(“\{JS: ([^\t\n\r\f\v>]+)}”, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
Document doc = new Document(“TestFile.doc”);
doc.getRange().replace(pattern, new TagReplacer(), false);

//TagReplacer is an another java file
public class TagReplacer implements IReplacingCallback {
public int replacing(ReplacingArgs e){
Node currentNode = e.getMatchNode();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder((Document) e.getMatchNode().getDocument());
builder.moveTo(currentNode);
String replacedStr = e.getMatch().group(1); // expected value as ‘Old valueC1R1’… from TestFile.doc
builder.write(“New value of ”+ replacedStr);
}
}

Attached the screen shot of TestFile.doc table(with paragraph marks), Table in TestFile.jpg (14.0 KB)
Also attached the TestFile.doc in zipTestFile.zip (5.9 KB)

Thanks,
Jeyasingh.

@jeyasingh,

Thanks for your patience. It is to inform you that the issue which you are facing is actually not a bug in Aspose.Words. So, we have closed this issue (WORDSNET-17278) as ‘Not a Bug’.

You are using obsolete method of Range.Replace. Please use Range.Replace method (Regex, String, FindReplaceOptions) to replaces all occurrences of a character pattern specified by a regular expression with another string.

Please use following regular expression to get the desired output. Hope this helps you.

String input = "{JS: Old valueC1R1}{JS: Old valueC2R1}{JS: Old valueC1R2}{JS: Old valueC2R2}{JS: Old valueC1R3}{JS: Old valueC2R3}";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\{JS(?:(?!\\{JS).)*.}", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);

FindReplaceOptions opt = new FindReplaceOptions();
FindReplaceTest replacingCallback = new TagReplacer();
opt.setReplacingCallback(replacingCallback);

doc.getRange().replace(pattern, "", opt);
