Examples

Shows how to include or ignore text inside insert revisions during a find-and-replace operation.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
builder.writeln('Hello world!')
# Start tracking revisions and insert a paragraph. That paragraph will be an insert revision.
doc.start_track_revisions('John Doe', datetime.now())
builder.writeln('Hello again!')
doc.stop_track_revisions()
self.assertTrue(doc.first_section.body.paragraphs[1].is_insert_revision)
# We can use a "FindReplaceOptions" object to modify the find-and-replace process.
options = aw.replacing.FindReplaceOptions()
# Set the "ignore_inserted" flag to "True" to get the find-and-replace
# operation to ignore paragraphs that are insert revisions.
# Set the "ignore_inserted" flag to "False" to get the find-and-replace
# operation to also search for text inside insert revisions.
options.ignore_inserted = ignore_text_inside_insert_revisions
doc.range.replace('Hello', 'Greetings', options)
self.assertEqual('Greetings world!\rHello again!' if ignore_text_inside_insert_revisions else 'Greetings world!\rGreetings again!', doc.get_text().strip())
