Hi Tim,
To change the content of the AuthorNodes you can use the AuthorDocumentController, which provides methods for modifying the Author document:
Code: Select all
AuthorDocumentController controller = authorAccess.getDocumentController();
To replace the text content of a node you can first delete this content by using the following method:
Code: Select all
controller.delete(startOffset, endOffset);
and then you can insert the new text content:
Code: Select all
controller.insertText(offset, text);
The offsets parameters represent positions in the Author document.
The following image presents an Author document fragment. The red markers indicate special control characters which are used to point to the start and the end offsets of the fragment containing nodes.
To find the start and end offsets of a node, use the
and
methods from the AuthorNode.
Another approach is to iterate through all the text content intervals and replace the ones that you want to modify. Here is an example:
Code: Select all
AuthorDocumentController documentController = authorAccess.getDocumentController();
TextContentIterator iterator = documentController.getTextContentIterator(startOffset, endOffset);
try {
documentController.beginCompoundEdit();
// Iterate through text content intervals
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
TextContext next = iterator.next();
//Check first if this text can be edited
if (next.getEditableState() == TextContext.EDITABLE
|| next.getEditableState() == TextContext.EDITABLE_IN_FILTERED_CONDITIONAL_PROFILING) {
CharSequence textSequence = next.getText();
if (textSequence != null) {
String text = textSequence.toString();
if (text.contains("toReplace")) {
// Replace the modified string
next.replaceText(text.replaceAll("toReplace", "newText"));
}
}
}
}
} finally {
documentController.endCompoundEdit();
}
Regards,
Mihaela
