document.FindAll

[Andy Tawse]

Hi,
I'm trying to search through a document using the FindAll method, but it either doesn't seem to find all instances of word (or none at all).

Example:

TextRangesHolder[] foundRanges = document.FindAll("phrase", false, false);

foreach (TextRangesHolder rangeHolder in foundRanges) {

foreach (TextRange range in rangeHolder) {
substituteCodes.Add(range.Text);
debug ++;
}
}

I'm not entirely sure what TextRangesHolder and TextRange are because the documentation is not very clear but in this example the document has 26 instances of "phrase" but FindAll only finds 16.

Is there something I'm doing wrong with FindAll? Or are there any obvious reasons why it might not find all instances of a word?

If TextRangesHolder holds many TextRanges why does FindAll return an array? I'm really quite confused about the TextRange stuff.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Andy

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

TextRange:

TextRange is a collection of text, in other words it is the paragraph or the range text.

TextRangeHolder:

TextRangeHolder is a collection of TextRanges. The FindAll returns TextRangeHolder the collection of all text range that has the phrase that is given for replacement.

As per the code snippet provided by you, the number of instances of "phrase" depends on the occurrences of the phrase within a paragraph.(i.e., a paragraph might contain more than one instance of "phrase" which is considered a single occurrence. But, replacing is done to all the occurrences).

Here is the sample program for your reference.

Thanks for that. I think I understand TextRanges now but in the particular document I am searching, it still doesn't find *any* occurrences of a phrase that is definitely in it. My code should do that.

Could I send you through the document in question in private. I can't post it on a public forum.

Thanks.
