Word Searching XML

[news.microsoft.com]

Looking for some example of searching Word XML data.

Basicly a recursive search for specific XML nodes and the data contained.

Thanks,
Schneider

Hello Schneider,

Based on my understanding, we are trying to search XML node and its content
in Word Open XML document, right? If I have misunderstood, please feel free
to correct me.

If that is the case, I think we can refer the following sample in the
OpenXML Developer community's article
http://openxmldeveloper.org/articles/QuickSearchTool.aspx

The Word OpenXML document actually is a package including several xml files
in it. We can firstly call System.IO.Packaging.Package.Open() function to
open the document, and then call Package.GetPart() to retrieve the xml file
we want to search. To search the document content, we need to load the
/word/document.xml. To search the custom xml part, we can load the
/customXml/item.xml in the document package. Once we load the target xml
file, we can get all xml nodes by XmlDocumet's GetElementsByTagName()
function. Detailed codes are available in the above link.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any future questions or
concerns on this. I will try my best to provide future assistance.

Have a nice day!

Hello,

I'm looking for examples using the Word object model directly, this is a
Word addin, which will be somewhat interactive and can not expected to load
the file which is already loaded in Word.

Thanks,

Schneider

Hello Schneider,

I see your points! I looked through the Word object model, did not find any
functions directly related to the searching. But, I think, since the Word
expose the whole document xml string via Document.WordOpenXML, we can
firstly load the xml string into a XmlDocument variable and then call
GetElementByTagName to search the XML node and its content. The sample
codes look like the following. What do you think about it?

System.Xml.XmlDocument xDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
xDoc.LoadXml(this.Application.ActiveDocument.WordOpenXML);
System.Xml.XmlNodeList textNodes = xDoc.get.GetElementsByTagName("w:t");
foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode xNode in textNodes)
{
if (xNode.InnerText == "TestString")
{
String message = "Find the string 'TestString'";
MessageBox.Show(message);
}
else
{
}
}

Have a nice day!

Thats similar to what i did:
m_IdList.Clear()

For t As Integer = 1 To m_WordDocument.XMLNodes.Count - 1

Dim node As Word.XMLNode = m_WordDocument.XMLNodes.Item(t)

If node.BaseName = "id" Then

Dim newnode As New IdNode

newnode.WordNode = node

m_IdList.Add(newnode)

Trace.WriteLine(node.Text)

End If

Next t

Hello Schneider,

Yes, you are right! For the reason that the Office Object Model does not
provide the direct XML searching function, we need to implement our logical
of searching via for or foreach loop as your and my codes did.

If you have any future questions or concerns on the same issue, please feel
free to update this thread. I will try my best to follow up.

Have a nice day!
