FieldSeparator
Inheritance: java.lang.Object, com.aspose.words.Node, com.aspose.words.Inline, com.aspose.words.SpecialChar, com.aspose.words.FieldChar
public class FieldSeparator extends FieldChar
Represents a Word field separator that separates the field code from the field result.
To learn more, visit the Working with Fields documentation article.
Remarks:
FieldSeparator is an inline-level node and represented by the ControlChar.FIELD_SEPARATOR_CHAR control character in the document.
FieldSeparator can only be a child of Paragraph.
A complete field in a Microsoft Word document is a complex structure consisting of a field start character, field code, field separator character, field result and field end character. Some fields only have field start, field code and field end.
To easily insert a new field into a document, use the DocumentBuilder.insertField(java.lang.String) method.
Examples:
Shows how to work with a collection of fields.
public void fieldCollection() throws Exception {

builder.insertField(" DATE \\@ \"dddd, d MMMM yyyy\" ");
builder.insertField(" TIME ");

builder.insertField(" AUTHOR \"John Doe\" ");
builder.insertField(" SUBJECT \"My Subject\" ");
builder.insertField(" QUOTE \"Hello world!\" ");
doc.updateFields();
FieldCollection fields = doc.getRange().getFields();

deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)
public Node deepClone(boolean isCloneChildren)
Creates a duplicate of the node.
Remarks:
This method serves as a copy constructor for nodes. The cloned node has no parent, but belongs to the same document as the original node.
This method always performs a deep copy of the node. The isCloneChildren parameter specifies whether to perform copy all child nodes as well.
Examples:
Shows how to clone a composite node.
Document doc = new Document();
Paragraph para = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();
para.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
// Below are two ways of cloning a composite node.
// 1 - Create a clone of a node, and create a clone of each of its child nodes as well.
Node cloneWithChildren = para.deepClone(true);
Assert.assertTrue(((CompositeNode) cloneWithChildren).hasChildNodes());
Assert.assertEquals("Hello world!", cloneWithChildren.getText().trim());
// 2 - Create a clone of a node just by itself without any children.
Node cloneWithoutChildren = para.deepClone(false);
Assert.assertFalse(((CompositeNode) cloneWithoutChildren).hasChildNodes());
Assert.assertEquals("", cloneWithoutChildren.getText().trim());
Parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
isCloneChildren | boolean | True to recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; false to clone only the node itself. |
Returns: Node - The cloned node.

}
}
// Calculates what level a table is nested inside other tables.
//
// Returns An integer containing the level the table is nested at.
// 0 = Table is not nested inside any other table
// 1 = Table is nested within one parent table

// Does not recursively traverse through those tables to check for further tables.
//
// Returns true if at least one child cell contains a table.
// Returns false if no cells in the table contains a table.

paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello again!"));
// Iterate through the paragraph's collection of immediate children,
// and print any runs or shapes that we find within.
NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false);
Assert.assertEquals(3, paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false).getCount());
for (Node child : (Iterable) children)
switch (child.getNodeType()) {
case NodeType.RUN:
System.out.println("Run contents:");

// If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection.
// First, create a new section, and then append it as a child to the root document node.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Revision runs.docx");
// When we edit the document while the "Track Changes" option, found in via Review -> Tracking,
// is turned on in Microsoft Word, the changes we apply count as revisions.
// When editing a document using Aspose.Words, we can begin tracking revisions by

// We can either accept revisions to assimilate them into the document
// or reject them to change the proposed change effectively.
Assert.assertEquals(6, doc.getRevisions().getCount());
// The parent node of a revision is the run that the revision concerns. A Run is an Inline node.
Run run = (Run) doc.getRevisions().get(0).getParentNode();

// 2 - A "format" revision:
// This revision occurs when we change the formatting of text while tracking changes.
Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(2).isFormatRevision());
// 3 - A "move from" revision:
// When we highlight text in Microsoft Word, and then drag it to a different place in the document
// while tracking changes, two revisions appear.
// The "move from" revision is a copy of the text originally before we moved it.
Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(4).isMoveFromRevision());
// 4 - A "move to" revision:
// The "move to" revision is the text that we moved in its new position in the document.
// "Move from" and "move to" revisions appear in pairs for every move revision we carry out.
// Accepting a move revision deletes the "move from" revision and its text,
// and keeps the text from the "move to" revision.
// Rejecting a move revision conversely keeps the "move from" revision and deletes the "move to" revision.
Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(1).isMoveToRevision());
// 5 - A "delete" revision:
// This revision occurs when we delete text while tracking changes. When we delete text like this,
// it will stay in the document as a revision until we either accept the revision,
// which will delete the text for good, or reject the revision, which will keep the text we deleted where it was.
Assert.assertTrue(runs.get(5).isDeleteRevision());
Returns: Paragraph - The corresponding Paragraph value.

Shows how to traverse through a composite node’s collection of child nodes.
Document doc = new Document();
// Add two runs and one shape as child nodes to the first paragraph of this document.
Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 0, true);
paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world! "));
Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.RECTANGLE);
shape.setWidth(200.0);
shape.setHeight(200.0);
// Note that the 'CustomNodeId' is not saved to an output file and exists only during the node lifetime.
shape.setCustomNodeId(100);
shape.setWrapType(WrapType.INLINE);
paragraph.appendChild(shape);
paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello again!"));
// Iterate through the paragraph's collection of immediate children,
// and print any runs or shapes that we find within.
NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false);
Assert.assertEquals(3, paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, false).getCount());
for (Node child : (Iterable) children)
switch (child.getNodeType()) {
case NodeType.RUN:
System.out.println("Run contents:");
System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\t\"{0}\"", child.getText().trim()));
break;
case NodeType.SHAPE:
Shape childShape = (Shape)child;
System.out.println("Shape:");
System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("\t{0}, {1}x{2}", childShape.getShapeType(), childShape.getWidth(), childShape.getHeight()));
break;
}
Parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
value | int | The corresponding int value. |
setRunAttr(int key, Object value)
public void setRunAttr(int key, Object value)
Parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
key | int | |
value | java.lang.Object |
toString()
public String toString()
Returns: java.lang.String
toString(SaveOptions saveOptions)
public String toString(SaveOptions saveOptions)
Exports the content of the node into a string using the specified save options.
Examples:
Exports the content of a node to String in HTML format.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");
Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph();
// When we call the ToString method using the html SaveFormat overload,
// it converts the node's contents to their raw html representation.
Assert.assertEquals(" " +
"Hello World!" +
"", node.toString(SaveFormat.HTML));
// We can also modify the result of this conversion using a SaveOptions object.
HtmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
saveOptions.setExportRelativeFontSize(true);
Assert.assertEquals(" " +
"Hello World!" +
"", node.toString(saveOptions));
Parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
saveOptions | SaveOptions | Specifies the options that control how the node is saved. |
Returns: java.lang.String - The content of the node in the specified format.
toString(int saveFormat)
public String toString(int saveFormat)
Parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
saveFormat | int |
Returns: java.lang.String
