Replace text with formatted text

The example shows you how to replace text with an AttributedText span, which carries its own style. The text before and after the replaced text stays in its original spans and keeps its formatting.

import com.independentsoft.office.odf.AttributedText;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Text;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.TextDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument("c:\\test\\input.odt");

            AttributedText span = new AttributedText();
            span.setStyle("Highlight");
            span.add(new Text("Mary Rose"));

            int count = doc.replace("John Smith", span);

            System.out.println(count + " occurrences replaced.");

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.odt");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

import com.independentsoft.office.odf.AttributedText;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.FindResult;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Text;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.TextDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument("c:\\test\\input.odt");

            FindResult result = doc.findFirst("{total}");

            if (result != null)
            {
                AttributedText span = new AttributedText();
                span.setStyle("Bold");
                span.add(new Text("1,250.00"));

                result.replace(span);

                doc.save("c:\\test\\output.odt");
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
