Hi,
   
I have one input word document file with content like
 
Cost of 1 (1 Jan 2017 -12 Jan 2017): 50 Rs .       
Cost of 2(3 Jan 2017 -12 Jan 2017): 60 Rs .       
Cost of 3(5 Jan 2017 -12 Jan 2017): 20 Rs .   
Cost of 4(6 Jan 2017 -12 Jan 2017): 10 Rs . 
Cost of 5(8 Jan 2017-12 Jan 2017): 90 Rs .

I need to display these contents to my output word file.I tried with this

C#

public Range GetRange(object findText, object LastText)
        {
            Range range1 = doc.Content;
            range1.Find.Execute(findText);
            range1.Find.Execute(findText);
    
            Range range2 = doc.Content;
            range2.Find.Execute(LastText);
            range2.Find.Execute(LastText);
    
            if (range2.Start > range1.Start)
            {               
                Range rng = doc.Range(range1.Start, range2.End);
    
                return rng;
            }
            else
                return null;
        }

You can actually record a macro and do what you need to and it will generate the code you need.

You need to use loop, i.e.:

C#

for(int i=1;i<6;i++)
{
    var content= inputWord.GetRange(String.Format("Cost of {0}", i), "Rs.");
    //your code here
}

or

C#

int i= 1;
do
{
    var content= inputWord.GetRange(String.Format("Cost of {0}", i), "Rs.");
    //your code here
    i+=1;
} while(content!=null);
