Error with getAsOneRange

[jmparada]

I've run into an error that I can't understand or resolve. In a word document I have the string "<start>pepe<end>", nothing more. I use findPattern to locate "<start>" and "<end>". This does it fine but then I have to grab the ranges and use "getAsOneRange" for each of them. With "<start>" it works, but with "<end>" a null pointer error is thrown. I have also tried with the "getAsRange" and "getRanges" methods and I get the same error.
The most curious thing is that I have been testing Spire.Doc for several days and I have other documents with much more content with many marks to search for and they work well. I ran into this error when in the large document, I put the marks inside a table cell. When trying to reproduce the error in a simpler document, I arrived at the document that I am attaching, which can not be simpler.

The code:

Document document = new Document();
document.loadFromFile("PruebaWord con tabla.docx");
TextSelection startSelection = document.findPattern(Pattern.compile("<start>"));
TextSelection endSelection = document.findPattern(Pattern.compile("<end>"));
TextRange startRange = startSelection.getAsOneRange();
TextRange endRange = endSelection.getAsOneRange();

Hi,

Because the getAsOneRange method will change the structure of the current paragraph. This can cause errors when the start and end marks are in the same paragraph. Please refer to the code below to adjust the order of method calls to avoid errors.

Code: Select all

        TextSelection startSelection = document.findPattern(Pattern.compile("<start>"));
        TextRange startRange = startSelection.getAsOneRange();
        TextSelection endSelection = document.findPattern(Pattern.compile("<end>"));
        TextRange endRange = endSelection.getAsOneRange();
