Hello,

I have a Word template that has a starting Bookmark, then a bunch of text, paragraphs, etc., and then an ending Bookmark.

I want to delete everything between the two bookmarks. What is the best way of doing this? Please provide me with an example that starts with the first bookmark, then examines all the nodes in between the two bookmarks (removing them if necessary) and stops at the last bookmark.

Thanks!

Hi

 

Thanks for your inquiry. You can try using the following code to achieve this.

 

Document doc = new Document(@"Test138\in.doc");

 

//Get start node

Node startNode = doc.Range.Bookmarks["start"].BookmarkEnd;

//Get End node

Node endNode = doc.Range.Bookmarks["end"].BookmarkStart;

 

Node curNode = startNode.NextPreOrder(doc);

while (curNode!=null)

{

    if (curNode.Equals(endNode))

        break;

 

    //move to next node

    Node nextNode = curNode.NextPreOrder(doc);

    //Check whether current contains end node

    if (curNode.IsComposite)

    {

        if (!(curNode as CompositeNode).ChildNodes.Contains(endNode) &&

            !(curNode as CompositeNode).ChildNodes.Contains(startNode))

        {

            nextNode = curNode.NextSibling;

            curNode.Remove();

        }

    }

    else

    {

        curNode.Remove();

    }

    curNode = nextNode;

}

 

//Save output document

doc.Save(@"Test138\out.doc");

 

Please let me know in case of any issues. Also please attach your document for testing.

 

Best regards.
