I need to parse several .docx files and find using Novacode DocX is making this a much easier task. The way I need to parse these documents is from a top-down approach where when I come across a certain "object" ( word table, picture, graphic, equation, ... ) do something specific.
I wrote the following code. Given a document this code will navigate through all the paragraph instances in-order and print out the styles. I noticed that some of these styles ( "Normal" in this case ) are actually associated with a table object.
using Novacode;
using System;
namespace resrap
{
internal class Program
{
private static void Main( string[] args )
{
using ( DocX document = DocX.Load( args[0] ) )
{
foreach ( var paraType in document.Paragraphs )
{
Console.WriteLine( paraType.StyleName );
}
}
}
}
}
Is there a way for me to determine if a given paragraph is associated with a Word table? I know how to grab all the tables in the document but since I need to parse the document in order ( and later put the parsed contents in order of sorts ) using something like this isn't that helpful since I don't know where these tables are actually located within the document.
using Novacode;
using System;
namespace resrap
{
internal class Program
{
private static void Main( string[] args )
{
using ( DocX document = DocX.Load( args[0] ) )
{
for ( int index = 0; index < document.Tables.Count; index++ )
{
var table = document.Tables[index];
// do something with table
}
}
}
}
}
I am unsure if my approach I have ( first code example ) is the way to do this but I will continue to figure this out while I wait for any possible guidance/tips.
