Extract issue in table

[pr20080798]

Hi Team,

I am not able to extract the table content from the attached document file. System is escaping the table while parsing the content line by line.

Please have a look and advice.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please refer to the following code to extract text from the table in your Word file.

Code: Select all

            string text=null;
            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile(@"test_spire.docx");
            Body body = doc.Sections[0].Body;
            foreach (DocumentObject child in body.ChildObjects)
            {
                foreach (DocumentObject child2 in child.ChildObjects)
                {
                    if (child2.DocumentObjectType.Equals(DocumentObjectType.Table))
                    {
                        Table table = child2 as Table;
                        foreach (TableRow tableRow in table.Rows)
                        {
                            foreach (TableCell headerCell in tableRow.Cells)
                            {
                                foreach (DocumentObject documentObject in headerCell.ChildObjects)
                                {
                                    if (documentObject is Paragraph)
                                    {
                                        Paragraph paragraph = documentObject as Paragraph;
                                        text += paragraph.Text + "\t";
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                            text += "\n";
                        }
                    }
                }

            }
            File.WriteAllText("Extract.txt", text);

Thanks Brian for your response.

The given code works for the document, but I would like to know how's the specified table come inside the paragraph children. Generally, we get the table parallel to the paragraph like I get in other word document. Is there any specific way to create the table inside paragraph in MS Word?

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.
For the document you provide, the table in your document is in the structure document tag. And the structure document tag is the child object of body (body.ChildObjects[0]). The table is not in a paragraph (as shown below).

Besides, since tables and paragraphs in Word documents are objects of the same level, and I am sorry that there is no way to create a table inside a paragraph.
