Shows how to print all of a document’s comments and their replies.

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Comments.docx')
comments = doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.COMMENT, True)
# If a comment has no ancestor, it is a "top-level" comment as opposed to a reply-type comment.
# Print all top-level comments along with any replies they may have.
for comment in list(filter(lambda c: c.ancestor == None, list(filter(lambda a: a is not None, map(lambda b: system_helper.linq.Enumerable.of_type(lambda x: x.as_comment(), b), list(comments)))))):
    print('Top-level comment:')
    print(f'\t"{comment.get_text().strip()}", by {comment.author}')
    print(f'Has {comment.replies.count} replies')
    for comment_reply in comment.replies:
        comment_reply = comment_reply.as_comment()
        print(f'\t"{comment_reply.get_text().strip()}", by {comment_reply.author}')
    print()
