Carriage return during a replacement

[Shex_]

Hi,

I have a template (docx) and I have to replace keys words to content.

Code: Select all

for (Object key : templateProperties.keySet()) {
   textValue = textValue.replaceAll(key.toString().toUpperCase(),(String) templateProperties.get(key));
}

But during this replacement, a key word must be replace to a string with carriages returns. I would like analyze this string in order to locate the '\n' character and insert into the docx's XML a carriage return (I know this character and others like to '\r\n' or '^l' don't work).

Code: Select all

if(templateProperties.get(key).toString().indexOf("\n")!=-1)
{
   // Insert a carriage return
}

I tried severals methods without success.

Do you have any ideas for my problem ?

Thanks
Shex

Do you want to end up with multiple paragraphs, or a single paragraph with soft returns (<w:br/>) in it?

The latter looks like:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Show ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

    <w:p>
      <w:r>
        <w:t>The cat</w:t>
      </w:r>
      <w:r>
        <w:br/>
        <w:t>sat on</w:t>
      </w:r>
      <w:r>
        <w:br/>
        <w:t>the mat.</w:t>
      </w:r>
    </w:p>

You could roll your own version of unmarshallFromTemplate so that it substitutes a new line character with:

      </w:r>
      <w:r>
        <w:br/>
        <w:t>

You might consider the content control data binding approach, which can already cope with multiline data.

Hi jason,

Thank you for your reply.

In order to resolve my problem, I used the xml (document.xml in the docx). We add nodes like to <w:br/> to the specifics areas.
