I'm attempting to open a Word document, change some text and then save the changes to a new document. I can get the first bit done using the code below but I can't figure out how to save the changes to a NEW document (specifying the path and file name).
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging;
using System.IO;
namespace WordTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string template = @"c:\data\hello.docx";
string documentText;
using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(template, true))
{
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.GetStream()))
{
documentText = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
documentText = documentText.Replace("##Name##", "Paul");
documentText = documentText.Replace("##Make##", "Samsung");
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.GetStream(FileMode.Create)))
{
writer.Write(documentText);
}
}
}
}
}
I'm a complete beginner at this, so forgive the basic question!
If you use a MemoryStream
you can save the changes to a new file like this:
byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes("c:\\data\\hello.docx");
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
stream.Write(byteArray, 0, (int)byteArray.Length);
using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(stream, true))
{
// Do work here
}
// Save the file with the new name
File.WriteAllBytes("C:\\data\\newFileName.docx", stream.ToArray());
}
