GroupName

ReplacingArgs.GroupName property

Identifies, by name, a captured group in the Match that is to be replaced with the Replacement string.

public string GroupName { get; set; }

Remarks

When group name is null, GroupIndex is used to identify the group.

Default is null.

Examples

Shows how to apply a different font to new content via FindReplaceOptions.

public void ConvertNumbersToHexadecimal()
{
    Document doc = new Document();
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

    builder.Font.Name = "Arial";
    builder.Writeln("Numbers that the find-and-replace operation will convert to hexadecimal and highlight:\n" +
                    "123, 456, 789 and 17379.");

    // We can use a "FindReplaceOptions" object to modify the find-and-replace process.
    FindReplaceOptions options = new FindReplaceOptions();

    // Set the "HighlightColor" property to a background color that we want to apply to the operation's resulting text.
    options.ApplyFont.HighlightColor = Color.LightGray;

    NumberHexer numberHexer = new NumberHexer();
    options.ReplacingCallback = numberHexer;

    int replacementCount = doc.Range.Replace(new Regex("[0-9]+"), "", options);

    Console.WriteLine(numberHexer.GetLog());

    Assert.AreEqual(4, replacementCount);
    Assert.AreEqual("Numbers that the find-and-replace operation will convert to hexadecimal and highlight:\r" +
                    "0x7B, 0x1C8, 0x315 and 0x43E3.", doc.GetText().Trim());
    Assert.AreEqual(4, doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Run, true).OfType<Run>()
            .Count(r => r.Font.HighlightColor.ToArgb() == Color.LightGray.ToArgb()));
