Editing Text Documents 106 "meter", "thru") Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent Replace = Doc.createReplaceDescriptor For I = 0 To 5 Replace.SearchString = BritishWords(I) Replace.ReplaceString = USWords(I) Doc.replaceAll(Replace) Next I The expressions for searching and replacing are set using the SearchString and ReplaceString properties of the ReplaceDescriptors. The actual replacement process is finally implemented using the replaceAll method of the document object, which replaces all occurrences of the search expression. Example: searching and replacing text with regular expressions The replacement function of OpenOffice.org is particularly effective when used in conjunction with regular expressions. These provide the option of defining a variable search expression with place holders and special characters rather than a fixed value. The regular expressions supported by OpenOffice.org are described in detail in the online help section for OpenOffice.org. Here are a few examples: • A period within a search expression stands for any character. The search expression sh.rt therefore can stand for both for shirt and for short. • The character ^ marks the start of a paragraph. All occurrences of the name Peter that are at the start of a paragraph can therefore be found using the search expression ^Peter. • The character $ marks a paragraph end. All occurrences of the name Peter that are at the end of a paragraph can therefore be found using the search expression Peter$. • A * indicates that the preceding character may be repeated any number of times. It can be combined with the period as a place holder for any character. The temper.*e expression, for example, can stand for the expressions temperance and temperature. The following example shows how all empty lines in a text document can be removed with the help of the regular expression ^$: Dim Doc As Object Dim Replace As Object Dim I As Long Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent Replace = Doc.createReplaceDescriptor Replace.SearchRegularExpression = True Replace.SearchString = "^$" Replace.ReplaceString = ""
Editing Text Documents 107 Doc.replaceAll(Replace) Source: http:/ / wiki. services. openoffice. org/ w/ index. php? title=Documentation/ BASIC_ Guide/ Editing_ Text_ Documents&oldid=105687 Principal Authors: Fpe, Ccornell, TJFrazier More Than Just Text So far, this chapter has only dealt with text paragraphs and their portions. But text documents may also contain other objects. These include tables, drawings, text fields and directories. All of these objects can be anchored to any point within a text. Thanks to these common features, all of these objects in OpenOffice.org support a common basic service called com.sun.star.text.TextContent . This provides the following properties: AnchorType (Enum) determines the anchor type of a TextContent object (default values in accordance with com.sun.star.text.TextContentAnchorType enumeration). AnchorTypes (sequence of Enum) enumeration of all AnchorTypes which support a special TextContent object. TextWrap (Enum) determines the text wrap type around a TextContent object (default values in accordance with com.sun.star.text.WrapTextMode enumeration). The TextContent objects also share some methods – in particular, those for creating, inserting and deleting objects. • A new TextContent object is created using the createInstance method of the document object. • An object is inserted using the insertTextContent method of the text object. • TextContent objects are deleted using the removeTextContent method. You will find a range of examples which use these methods in the following sections.
