Examples

Shows how to iterate through all tables in the document and print the contents of each cell.

doc = aw.Document(MY_DIR + 'Tables.docx')
tables = doc.first_section.body.tables
self.assertEqual(2, len(tables.to_array()))
for i in range(tables.count):
    print('Start of Table', i)
    rows = tables[i].rows
    # We can use the "to_array" method on a row collection to clone it into an array.
    self.assertSequenceEqual(list(rows), rows.to_array())
    #Assert.are_not_same(rows, rows.to_array())
    for j in range(rows.count):
        print('\tStart of Row', j)
        cells = rows[j].cells
        # We can use the "to_array" method on a cell collection to clone it into an array.
        self.assertSequenceEqual(list(cells), cells.to_array())
        #Assert.are_not_same(cells, cells.to_array())
        for k in range(cells.count):
            cell_text = cells[k].to_string(aw.SaveFormat.TEXT).strip()
            print(f'\t\tContents of Cell:{k} = "{cell_text}"')
        print(f'\tEnd of Row {j}')
    print(f'End of Table {i}\n')
