geocast Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi everyone I've managed to parse a wordfile with regular expressions for an e-mail address. This works very well. Now I would like to parse it for a name. Trouble of course is, how do you parse for a name?! The only thing I have is that the name is allways in the same position and it has a frame around it. Does that help in any way? I've attached the file it should be extracted from it is any help. Thanks for your help!! doc.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geocast Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Just installed the beta. Looks good thanks Problem is still, how do I look for a name? The file I added is just an example of many with different names. Is there a way to tell the range only to look in that frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

water Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 But when you click on the frame around the name you can drag it to another location in the document. if we know the type of element we can try to directly access them using COM.

water Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm not sure it is a table. I tried to select it and insert a row but Word doesn't offer table functions on this object.

l3ill Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Is there anyway to include parameters like these?

geocast Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hi again Sorry was away the last day. Thanks very much for the solution, works well! The only issue I have left is when a blank file comes up, it exits with a error. How can I tell it to write instance a 1 if there is no name, or just blank. Thanks you!

water Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Check the count of frames. If the count is lower than the item number you want to access then exit.

water Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 That would have been my suggestion, but first you would have to let it run once and I get this message. Why do you need to run it once?
