Environment: asp.net c# openxml
Ok, so I've been reading a ton of snippets and trying to recreate the wheel, but I'm hoping that somone can help me get to my desination faster. I have multiple documents that I need to merge together... check... I'm able to do that with openxml sdk. Birds are singing, sun is shining so far. Now that I have the document the way I want it, I need to search and replace text and/or content controls.
I've tried using my own text - {replace this} but when I look at the xml (rename docx to zip and view the file), the { is nowhere near the text. So I either need to know how to protect that within the doucment so they don't diverge or I need to find another way to search and replace.
I'm able to search/replace if it is an xml file, but then I'm back to not being able to combine the doucments easily.
Code below... and as I mentioned... document merge works fine... just need to replace stuff.
protected void exeProcessTheDoc(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string doc1 = Server.MapPath("~/Templates/doc1.docx");
string doc2 = Server.MapPath("~/Templates/doc2.docx");
string final_doc = Server.MapPath("~/Templates/extFinal.docx");
File.Delete(final_doc);
File.Copy(doc1, final_doc);
using (WordprocessingDocument myDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(final_doc, true))
{
string altChunkId = "AltChunkId2";
MainDocumentPart mainPart = myDoc.MainDocumentPart;
AlternativeFormatImportPart chunk = mainPart.AddAlternativeFormatImportPart(
AlternativeFormatImportPartType.WordprocessingML, altChunkId);
using (FileStream fileStream = File.Open(doc2, FileMode.Open))
chunk.FeedData(fileStream);
AltChunk altChunk = new AltChunk();
altChunk.Id = altChunkId;
mainPart.Document.Body.InsertAfter(altChunk, mainPart.Document.Body.Elements<Paragraph>().Last());
mainPart.Document.Save();
}
exeSearchReplace(final_doc);
}
protected void exeSearchReplace(string document)
{
using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(document, true))
{
string docText = null;
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wordDoc.MainDocumentPart. GetStream()))
{
docText = sr.ReadToEnd();
}
Regex regexText = new Regex("acvtClientName");
docText = regexText.Replace(docText, "Hi Everyone!");
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.GetStream(FileMode.Create)))
{
sw.Write(docText);
}
}
}
}
}
