extract number from numbered list in Word

[robertop19.rp]

I'm trying to go through a Word document and obtain all of the text. I use the method from the tutorial where I go through each section and then obtain every paragraph:

foreach (Section section in document.Sections)
{
foreach (Paragraph paragraph in section.Paragraphs)
{
sb.AppendLine(paragraph.Text);
}
}

the problem lies in that paragraph.Text does not return the list number next to the paragraph. It skips the list number entirely, for example when I want the paragraph.Text to say "1. SCOPE" it just returns "SCOPE". How do I get the numbered list to appear alongside the paragraph?

Hello,

Sorry for late replay as weekend.
If you want to extract the text that includes the list number next to the paragraph, the only way as below is directly saving the document to txt file:

Code: Select all

document.SaveToFile("result.txt", FileFormat.Txt);

Kindly note: the conversion from docx to txt is only supported in Pro Edition. Please contact our sales team(sales@e-iceblue.com) to upgrade your license of the Spire.Doc standard Edition to Pro Edition.

Not exactly. This is what I did

Spire.Doc.Document document = new Spire.Doc.Document(docPath);
//try saving the file in .txt format in order to get the numbered lists
string textFileName = mainPath + @"result.txt";
document.SaveToFile(textFileName, FileFormat.Txt);
document.LoadFromFile(textFileName);
//and then I proceed to get the text from each paragraph in document

When I look at result.txt though this is a demonstration of what I get:

1. SCOPE

.1 Scope. This specification covers...<-------------------------------------------this should be "1.1 Scope..."

.2 Classification. The insect repellent covered by...<-------------------------this should be "1.2 Classification..."

do I have to change the encoding? Please tell me what I am doing wrong, thanks.

Yes, the text file produces the correct numbers but it's still inconvenient that I cannot get the text directly from the Word file. Can you add a feature that let's me get the list number directly off the word file?
