Wrong word count

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi,
I am getting wrong word count values comparing to MS-Word word count values for specific document which have the hidden properties,

MS-Word count values: Word count – 21
Char count – 103
Char with spaces count – 138

Aspose count values: Word count – 68
Char count – 317
Char with spaces count – 388

I am getting aspose values by using following code
<<-----

Document doc = new Document(filePath);
// Updates word count properties of the document.
doc.updateWordCount();
doc.updatePageLayout();
// getting document properties.
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getCharacters();
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getCharactersWithSpaces();
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getPages();
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getParagraphs();
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getLines();
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getWords();

------->
I observed that the Aspose including the hidden properties count value but MS-Word excluding those value that’s the reason getting difference in count. I need to know how can i get the count equals to the MS-Word count values(excluding those hidden properties count) using aspose. please suggest me.

Attached :

  • document(wrongCount.rtf),
  • image which shows the MS-Word count values(wrongCount.png) and
  • image which shows the hidden properties(hiddenProperties.png).

Need quick response.

Thanks

Hi Kapil,

Thanks for your inquiry.
To mimic the MS
Word behaviour, I have logged this issue as WORDSNET-10419. We will
update you via this forum thread once this issue is resolved. We
apologize for your inconvenience.

As a workaround of this issue, please use the following code example. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "wrongCount.rtf");
for (Run run : (Iterable) doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.RUN, true)){
    if(run.getFont().getHidden())
        run.remove();
}
// Updates word count properties of the document.
doc.updateWordCount();
doc.updatePageLayout();
System.out.println("Words : " + doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getWords());
System.out.println("Paragraphs : " + doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getParagraphs());
System.out.println("CharactersWithSpaces : " + doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getCharactersWithSpaces());
System.out.println("Characters : " + doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getCharacters());

Hi Tahir,
Thanks for your response, the solution worked for me. I hope this bug resolves in feature releases of Aspose instead of adding extra code .

Thanks,
