I have tried the following with python-docx:
section = self.document.sections[0]
footer = section._sectPr.footer
footer.text = "I am here"
I couldn't find a clear footer/header directions in docx documentations. Is there a work around to cover this gap?
The work around is:
Create a document with python-docx.
Change the name to 'init.docx'
Comment any adding-new-style code
Open 'init.docx'
Delete everything
Save it.
Add footnote/Headers to 'init.docx'
Change self.document = Document('') to self.document = Document('init.docx').
I am trying to create a Word document using Aspose.Words for .NET using the DOM approach. How would I make an text hyperlinked?
Like when we click on text it should be route to web page from Docx.
Example : click here
This can be done by appending a hyperlink field to the paragraph. See the below sample code
// Create or load a document
Aspose.Words.Document wordDoc = new Aspose.Words.Document();
// Get first paragraph
Aspose.Words.Paragraph para = wordDoc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph;
para.Runs.Add(new Run(wordDoc, "Visit "));
// Add the hyperlink field to the paragraph
FieldHyperlink field = (FieldHyperlink)para.AppendField(Aspose.Words.Fields.FieldType.FieldHyperlink, false);
// URL
field.Address = #"""http://www.aspose.com""";
// Text
field.Result = "Aspose";
field.Update();
// Set color of the last run
para.Runs[para.Runs.Count - 1].Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
// Save the document
string dst = (dataDir + #"hyperlink.docx");
wordDoc.Save(dst);
I work with Aspose as Developer Evangelist.
I know doc.Save() function save all page in one HTML file.
doc.RenderToScale() function save each page to the independent image file.
but i want read or save each page in independent HTML file,I had not idea,can you help me?
You can use the following code sample to convert each page to HTML or any other format supported by Aspose.Words.
String srcDoc = Common.DATA_DIR + "src.docx";
String dstDoc = Common.DATA_DIR + "dst {PAGE_NO}.html";
Document doc = new Document(srcDoc);
LayoutCollector layoutCollector = new LayoutCollector(doc);
// This will build layout model and collect necessary information.
doc.updatePageLayout();
// Split nodes in the document into separate pages.
DocumentPageSplitter splitter = new DocumentPageSplitter(layoutCollector);
// Save each page to disk as separate documents.
for (int page = 1; page <= doc.getPageCount(); page++)
{
Document pageDoc = splitter.getDocumentOfPage(page);
pageDoc.save(dstDoc.replace("{PAGE_NO}", page+""));
}
It depends on 3 other classes, which you can find in this zip file.

I am trying to write to an open word document using activeQt. I am trying to activate my word document, but i cant get it to work.
I can do this in VBA very easily:
Documents("my.doc").Activate
but not in Qt, this is what i have tried:
wordApplication = new QAxObject("Word.Application");
doc = wordApplication->querySubObject("Documents()","my.doc");
doc->dynamicCall("Activate()");
Documents() is supposed to contain all the open word documents, but for me it is empty for some reason.
I found the solution to my problem, by using the setControl function with the UUID for word I was able to access a word document that was already opened.
QAxObject* wordApplication;
QAxObject* doc;
wordApplication = new QAxObject(this);
wordApplication->setControl(("{000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}&"));
doc = wordApplication->querySubObject("Documents()","my.doc");
I'm using selenium RC and I would like, for example, to get all the links elements with attribute href that match:
http://[^/]*\d+com
I would like to use:
sel.get_attribute( '//a[regx:match(#href, "http://[^/]*\d+.com")]/#name' )
which would return a list of the name attribute of all the links that match the regex.
(or something like it)
thanks
The answer above is probably the right way to find ALL of the links that match a regex, but I thought it'd also be helpful to answer the other part of the question, how to use regex in Xpath locators. You need to use the regex matches() function, like this:
xpath=//div[matches(#id,'che.*boxes')]
(this, of course, would click the div with 'id=checkboxes', or 'id=cheANYTHINGHEREboxes')
Be aware, though, that the matches function is not supported by all native browser implementations of Xpath (most conspicuously, using this in FF3 will throw an error: invalid xpath[2]).
If you have trouble with your particular browser (as I did with FF3), try using Selenium's allowNativeXpath("false") to switch over to the JavaScript Xpath interpreter. It'll be slower, but it does seem to work with more Xpath functions, including 'matches' and 'ends-with'. :)
You can use the Selenium command getAllLinks to get an array of the ids of links on the page, which you could then loop through and check the href using the getAttribute, which takes the locator followed by an # and the attribute name. For example in Java this might be:
String[] allLinks = session().getAllLinks();
List<String> matchingLinks = new ArrayList<String>();
for (String linkId : allLinks) {
String linkHref = selenium.getAttribute("id=" + linkId + "#href");
if (linkHref.matches("http://[^/]*\\d+.com")) {
matchingLinks.add(link);
}
}
A possible solution is to use sel.get_eval() and write a JS script that returns a list of the links. something like the following answer:
selenium: Is it possible to use the regexp in selenium locators
Here's some alternate methods as well for Selenium RC. These aren't pure Selenium solutions, they allow interaction with your programming language data structures and Selenium.
You can also get get HTML page source, then regular expression the source to return a match set of links. Use regex grouping to separate out URLs, link text/ID, etc. and you can then pass them back to selenium to click on or navigate to.
Another method is get HTML page source or innerHTML (via DOM locators) of a parent/root element then convert the HTML to XML as DOM object in your programming language. You can then traverse the DOM with desired XPath (with regular expression or not), and obtain a nodeset of only the links of interest. From their parse out the link text/ID or URL and you can pass back to selenium to click on or navigate to.
Upon request, I'm providing examples below. It's mixed languages since the post didn't appear to be language specific anyways. I'm just using what I had available to hack together for examples. They aren't fully tested or tested at all, but I've worked with bits of the code before in other projects, so these are proof of concept code examples of how you'd implement the solutions I just mentioned.
//Example of element attribute processing by page source and regex (in PHP)
$pgSrc = $sel->getPageSource();
//simple hyperlink extraction via regex below, replace with better regex pattern as desired
preg_match_all("/<a.+href=\"(.+)\"/",$pgSrc,$matches,PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
//$matches is a 2D array, $matches[0] is array of whole string matched, $matches[1] is array of what's in parenthesis
//you either get an array of all matched link URL values in parenthesis capture group or an empty array
$links = count($matches) >= 2 ? $matches[1] : array();
//now do as you wish, iterating over all link URLs
//NOTE: these are URLs only, not actual hyperlink elements
//Example of XML DOM parsing with Selenium RC (in Java)
String locator = "id=someElement";
String htmlSrcSubset = sel.getEval("this.browserbot.findElement(\""+locator+"\").innerHTML");
//using JSoup XML parser library for Java, see jsoup.org
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(htmlSrcSubset);
/* once you have this document object, can then manipulate & traverse
it as an XML/HTML node tree. I'm not going to go into details on this
as you'd need to know XML DOM traversal and XPath (not just for finding locators).
But this tutorial URL will give you some ideas:
http://jsoup.org/cookbook/extracting-data/dom-navigation
the example there seems to indicate first getting the element/node defined
by content tag within the "document" or source, then from there get all
hyperlink elements/nodes and then traverse that as a list/array, doing
whatever you want with an object oriented approach for each element in
the array. Each element is an XML node with properties. If you study it,
you'd find this approach gives you the power/access that WebDriver/Selenium 2
now gives you with WebElements but the example here is what you can do in
Selenium RC to get similar WebElement kind of capability
*/
Selenium's By.Id and By.CssSelector methods do not support Regex and By.XPath only does where XPath 2.0 is enabled. If you want to use Regex, you can do something like this:
void MyCallingMethod(IWebDriver driver)
{
//Search by ID:
string attrName = "id";
//Regex = 'a number that is 1-10 digits long'
string attrRegex= "[0-9]{1,10}";
SearchByAttribute(driver, attrName, attrRegex);
}
IEnumerable<IWebElement> SearchByAttribute(IWebDriver driver, string attrName, string attrRegex)
{
List<IWebElement> elements = new List<IWebElement>();
//Allows spaces around equal sign. Ex: id = 55
string searchString = attrName +"\\s*=\\s*\"" + attrRegex +"\"";
//Search page source
MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(driver.PageSource, searchString, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
//iterate over matches
foreach (Match match in matches)
{
//Get exact attribute value
Match innerMatch = Regex.Match(match.Value, attrRegex);
cssSelector = "[" + attrName + "=" + attrRegex + "]";
//Find element by exact attribute value
elements.Add(driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector(cssSelector)));
}
return elements;
}
Note: this code is untested. Also, you can optimize this method by figuring out a way to eliminate the second search.
