FindText ignoreCase option not working

[Luke_77]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the function FindText with the option ignoreCase true:

finds = pPage.FindText("Some Text", true, true).Finds;

but looks like it doesn't work.
How can i do to search some text in a pdf file ignoring case sensitive?
Thank you.

Luke

When I search for the word "sex" in a document it takes words like "is excluded" and highlights the "s" and the "ex". This happens when I use page.FindText(word, false, true).Finds.

If I use page.FindText(word, true, true).Finds then search whole word seems to work BUT it does NOT ignore case. How can I get search whole word AND ignore case to work?

Hello David Noe,

Thanks for your message.
I did an initial test with our latest Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:8.7.2, but I didn't reproduce your issue. If you were using an old version, I suggest that you upgrade to the latest one to try again. Besides, the method has some adjustments in our latest version, please use the following sample code to test.
If there is still any question, please share us with your input PDF file for further testing.

Code: Select all

            PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
            pdf.LoadFromFile(@"input.pdf");
            PdfTextFind[] result = null;
            foreach (PdfPageBase page in pdf.Pages)
            {
            //old method
            //result = page.FindText("sex", true, true).Finds;
            result = page.FindText("sex",TextFindParameter.IgnoreCase| TextFindParameter.WholeWord).Finds;
            foreach (PdfTextFind find in result)
            {
            find.HighLight();
            }
            }
            string output = @"out.pdf";
            pdf.SaveToFile(output, FileFormat.PDF);
