Case insensitive with findPattern

[jmparada]

Using the findPattern method, you pass a pattern object that has the case-insensitive flag included. However, the search appears to ignore this flag because it only finds as written.
I am using java 11 on windows.

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry.
I did an initial test with the code below, but didn't reproduce the issue you mentioned. Please test it again with the following code (attached is the test document). If the issue still exists after testing, please provide your source word document for us to investigate further. You could attach it here or send it to us via email (support@e-iceblue.com). Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

 //Input file path
        String input = "input.docx";

        //Output file path
        String output ="output.docx";

        //Create word document
        Document document = new Document();

        //Create word document
        document.loadFromFile(input);

        //Get the second paragraph
        Section s = document.getSections().get(0);
        Paragraph para = s.getParagraphs().get(0);

        //find all matched key words with regex,not case sensitive
        Pattern c = Pattern.compile("(?i)pass\\s*");
        TextSelection[] textSelections = para.findAllPattern(c);

        //Highlight text
        for (TextSelection selection : textSelections)
        {
            selection.getAsOneRange().getCharacterFormat().setHighlightColor(new Color(255, 255, 0));
        }

        // Save to file
        document.saveToFile(output, FileFormat.Docx_2013);

Sincerely,

Below is a simple code that looks for the string "<start>" with the CASE_INSENSITIVE flag. With the attached word document, very simple, you can see how it does not find the string "<START>" which is in capital letters.

Code:

Document doc = new Document();
doc.loadFromFile("PruebaWord findpattern.docx");
TextSelection startSelection = doc.findPattern(Pattern.compile("<start>",Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE));

if (startSelection == null)
System.out.println("Not found");
else
System.out.println("Found: " + startSelection.getSelectedText());
