find replace text problem

[sfmorais]

Hi,

I know that I have a repeated problem here in the forum but in my example I can´t find the solution.

I created a simple document (attached in the post)

I want to execute the find/replace text task.
I defined that my variables is marked between two pairs of '@@' (in this case called @@variable@@)

I googled to find the solutions. I think that I have the 'split text' problem. One of the solutions that I found to avoid the 'split text' problem is to programatically disable the RsIds and spell. I tried it but I have the same problem.

Now I tested with version 3.0 (but I started tested with older versions)

Many thanks in advance

Code: Select all

private static List<Object> getAllElementFromObject(Object obj, Class<?> toSearch) {
      List<Object> result = new ArrayList<Object>();
      if (obj instanceof JAXBElement) {
         obj = ((JAXBElement<?>) obj).getValue();
      }
      if (obj.getClass().equals(toSearch)) {
         result.add(obj);
      } else if (obj instanceof ContentAccessor) {
         List<?> children = ((ContentAccessor) obj).getContent();
         for (Object child : children) {
            result.addAll(getAllElementFromObject(child, toSearch));
         }
      }
      return result;
   }
   
   private static void replacePlaceholder(WordprocessingMLPackage template, String name, String placeholder ) {
      List<Object> texts = getAllElementFromObject(template.getMainDocumentPart(), Text.class);
      for (Object text : texts) {
         Text textElement = (Text) text;
         if (textElement.getValue().equals(placeholder)) {
            textElement.setValue(name);
         }
      }
   }
   
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      
      WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new FileInputStream(new File("c:\\documento_template_simples.docx")));
   
      WordprocessingMLPackage.FilterSettings filterSettings = new WordprocessingMLPackage.FilterSettings();
        filterSettings.setRemoveProofErrors(true);
        filterSettings.setRemoveContentControls(true);
        filterSettings.setRemoveRsids(true);
        wordMLPackage.filter(filterSettings);
       
      replacePlaceholder(wordMLPackage, "text to replace", "@@variable@@");
      wordMLPackage.save(new File("c:\\documento_final.docx"));
   }


The part of document.xml that contains the variables is:

Code: Select all

<w:p w:rsidR="00EE275D" w:rsidRDefault="000A40A3" w:rsidP="00EE275D"><w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="SemEspaamento"/></w:pPr><w:r><w:t>@@</w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="spellStart"/><w:r><w:t>varia</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidR="002E2992"><w:t>ble</w:t></w:r><w:proofErr w:type="spellEnd"/><w:r><w:t>@@</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:p w:rsidR="00EE275D" w:rsidRDefault="005D49F6" w:rsidP="00EE275D"><w:pPr><w:pStyle w:val="SemEspaamento"/></w:pPr><w:r><w:t>@@</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidR="00EE275D"><w:t>varia</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidR="002E2992"><w:t>ble</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidR="00EE275D"><w:t>@@</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:sectPr w:rsidR="00EE275D"><w:pgSz w:w="11906" w:h="16838"/><w:pgMar w:top="1417" w:right="1701" w:bottom="1417" w:left="1701" w:header="708" w:footer="708" w:gutter="0"/><w:cols w:space="708"/><w:docGrid w:linePitch="360"/></w:sectPr>

Well you still seem to have both rsids (w:rsidR) and spell checking (<w:proofErr w:type="spellStart"/>..<w:proofErr w:type="spellEnd"/>) on in Word. You could try again to turn that off.

Alternatively, you can run your docx through https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... epare.java

There's a main method at the end which shows how to use it.

Ok Jason, many thanks in advance.

Your solution solve me partially. Works only in some situations.

Follow my before post, the @@variable1@@ was solved with prepare method of VariablePrepare sample
and @@variable2@@ continue splited

As you can see, after the prepare method, the 'variable2' is splitted (the second pair of '@') by <w:bookmark

Code: Select all

w:p>
            <w:pPr>
                <w:pStyle w:val="SemEspaamento"/>
            </w:pPr>
            <w:r>
                <w:t>@@variable2</w:t>
            </w:r>
            <w:bookmarkStart w:name="_GoBack" w:id="0"/>
            <w:bookmarkEnd w:id="0"/>
            <w:r>
                <w:t>@@</w:t>
            </w:r>
        </w:p>

My class main

Code: Select all

private static List<Object> getAllElementFromObject(Object obj, Class<?> toSearch) {
      List<Object> result = new ArrayList<Object>();
      if (obj instanceof JAXBElement) {
         obj = ((JAXBElement<?>) obj).getValue();
      }
      if (obj.getClass().equals(toSearch)) {
         result.add(obj);
      } else if (obj instanceof ContentAccessor) {
         List<?> children = ((ContentAccessor) obj).getContent();
         for (Object child : children) {
            result.addAll(getAllElementFromObject(child, toSearch));
         }
      }
      return result;
   }
   
   private static void replacePlaceholder(WordprocessingMLPackage template, String name, String placeholder ) {
      List<Object> texts = getAllElementFromObject(template.getMainDocumentPart(), Text.class);
      for (Object text : texts) {
         Text textElement = (Text) text;
         if (textElement.getValue().equals(placeholder)) {
            textElement.setValue(name);
         }
      }
   }
   
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      
      WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage.load(new File("c:\\documento_template_simples.docx"));
      
      Docx4jUtil.prepare(wordMLPackage);
      System.out.println("After:\n" + XmlUtils.marshaltoString(wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().getJaxbElement(), true, true));      
       
      replacePlaceholder(wordMLPackage, "text 1 to replace", "@@variable1@@");
      replacePlaceholder(wordMLPackage, "text 2 to replace", "@@variable2@@");
      
      wordMLPackage.save(new File("c:\\documento_final.docx"));
   }


Attached is my Doc4jUtil class (that contains the main methods of VariablePrepare sample)

Many thanks in advance

Hi Jason,
I think that I found the solution

To solve my problem I looked to the 'BookmarksDeleter' sample

So, before replace the variables I execute the 'clean' text operations: call prepare method of VariablePrepare sample and the fixRange method of BookmarksDeleter sample. (I don´t know if it is a efficient way)

Till now I did some tests and it works.

Thanks
