Hello everyone,

I am using the Oxygen SDK 21.1.0.2 and I wondered if it is possible to retrieve the exact insert position in a text.

Currently I have overridden the method

Code: Select all

insertText

in our own

Code: Select all

DocumentFilter

class.
But I only manage to use the offset attribut to get the current node.
And I don't manage to retrieve the exacte position of the insert in the text of this node.
I tried to use the method

Code: Select all

getFilteredText

from

Code: Select all

AuthorDocumentController

with

Code: Select all

offset -1 and offset

as parameters but without success.

Is it possible to retrieve this position ?
I need it to automatically detect specific abbreviations when users writes in a document.

Regards,
Isabelle

Hi Isabelle,

So you want to somehow look around the current offset and see what text is there, right?
Maybe you can create a text content iterator ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorDocumentController.getTextContentIterator(int, int) starting from the current node's start offset to the current offset and use it to see what text is there.

Radu
