Returns: FieldEnd - The node that represents the field end.
getFieldCode()
public String getFieldCode()
Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator). Both field code and field result of child fields are included.
Examples:
Shows how to insert a field into a document using a field code.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");
Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, dateField.getType());

Shows how to get a field’s field code.
// Open a document which contains a MERGEFIELD inside an IF field.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested fields.docx");
FieldIf fieldIf = (FieldIf) doc.getRange().getFields().get(0);
// There are two ways of getting a field's field code:
// 1 - Omit its inner fields:
Assert.assertEquals(" IF > 0 \" (surplus of ) \" \"\" ", fieldIf.getFieldCode(false));
// 2 - Include its inner fields:

// By default, the GetFieldCode method displays inner fields.
Assert.assertEquals(fieldIf.getFieldCode(), fieldIf.getFieldCode(true));
Returns: java.lang.String
getFieldCode(boolean includeChildFieldCodes)
public String getFieldCode(boolean includeChildFieldCodes)
Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).
Examples:
Shows how to get a field’s field code.
// Open a document which contains a MERGEFIELD inside an IF field.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested fields.docx");
FieldIf fieldIf = (FieldIf) doc.getRange().getFields().get(0);

Returns: java.lang.String
getFormat()
public FieldFormat getFormat()
Gets a FieldFormat object that provides typed access to field’s formatting.
Examples:
Shows how to format field results.

Field field = builder.insertField("= 2 + 3");

format.setDateTimeFormat("dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy");
field.update();
Assert.assertEquals("DATE \\@ \"dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy\"", field.getFieldCode());

Parameters:

isLocked()
public boolean isLocked()
Gets whether the field is locked (should not recalculate its result).
Examples:
Shows how to work with a FieldStart node.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
FieldDate field = (FieldDate) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, true);
field.getFormat().setDateTimeFormat("dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy");
field.update();
FieldChar fieldStart = field.getStart();
Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, fieldStart.getFieldType());
Assert.assertEquals(false, fieldStart.isDirty());
Assert.assertEquals(false, fieldStart.isLocked());
// Retrieve the facade object which represents the field in the document.
field = (FieldDate) fieldStart.getField();
Assert.assertEquals(false, field.isLocked());
Assert.assertEquals(" DATE \\@ \"dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy\"", field.getFieldCode());
// Update the field to show the current date.
field.update();
Returns: boolean - Whether the field is locked (should not recalculate its result).
isLocked(boolean value)
public void isLocked(boolean value)
Sets whether the field is locked (should not recalculate its result).
Examples:
Shows how to work with a FieldStart node.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
FieldDate field = (FieldDate) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, true);
field.getFormat().setDateTimeFormat("dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy");
field.update();
FieldChar fieldStart = field.getStart();
Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, fieldStart.getFieldType());
Assert.assertEquals(false, fieldStart.isDirty());
Assert.assertEquals(false, fieldStart.isLocked());
// Retrieve the facade object which represents the field in the document.
field = (FieldDate) fieldStart.getField();
Assert.assertEquals(false, field.isLocked());
Assert.assertEquals(" DATE \\@ \"dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy\"", field.getFieldCode());
// Update the field to show the current date.
field.update();
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| value | boolean | Whether the field is locked (should not recalculate its result). |
remove()
public Node remove()
Removes the field from the document. Returns a node right after the field. If the field’s end is the last child of its parent node, returns its parent paragraph. If the field is already removed, returns null .
Examples:
Shows how to remove fields from a field collection.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.insertField(" DATE \\@ \"dddd, d MMMM yyyy\" ");
builder.insertField(" TIME ");
builder.insertField(" REVNUM ");

fields.remove(lastField);
Assert.assertEquals(4, fields.getCount());
// 3 - Remove a field from a collection at an index:
fields.removeAt(2);
Assert.assertEquals(3, fields.getCount());
// 4 - Remove all the fields from the collection at once:
fields.clear();
Assert.assertEquals(0, fields.getCount());
Shows how to process PRIVATE fields.

Sets the LCID of the field.
Examples:

Remarks:
Replaces the field with its most recent result.
Some fields, such as XE (Index Entry) fields and SEQ (Sequence) fields, cannot be unlinked.
Examples:

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Linked fields.docx");
doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).unlink();
Returns: boolean - true if the field has been unlinked, otherwise false .
update()
public void update()
Performs the field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.
Examples:
Shows how to insert a field into a document using FieldType.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Insert two fields while passing a flag which determines whether to update them as the builder inserts them.
// In some cases, updating fields could be computationally expensive, and it may be a good idea to defer the update.

Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", doc.getRange().getFields().get(0).getResult());
doc.updateFields();
Assert.assertEquals("1", doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).getResult());
}
Shows how to format field results.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Use a document builder to insert a field that displays a result with no format applied.
Field field = builder.insertField("= 2 + 3");
Assert.assertEquals("= 2 + 3", field.getFieldCode());

Assert.assertEquals(0, format.getGeneralFormats().getCount());
update(boolean ignoreMergeFormat)
public void update(boolean ignoreMergeFormat)
Performs a field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.
Examples:
Shows how to preserve or discard INCLUDEPICTURE fields when loading a document.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
FieldIncludePicture includePicture = (FieldIncludePicture) builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_INCLUDE_PICTURE, true);
includePicture.setSourceFullName(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");
