Get source and target text from files Leave feedback
On this page
GroupDocs.Comparison allows you to get source and target texts of specific changes in the output file.
To get a list of changed source and target texts, follow these steps:
- Instantiate the Comparer object. Specify the source document path or stream.
- Call the add() method. Specify the target document path or stream.
- Call the compare() method.
- Call the getChanges() method.
The following code snippets show how to get specified texts from a file.
import com.groupdocs.comparison.Comparer;
import com.groupdocs.comparison.result.ChangeInfo;
import java.nio.file.Path;
// ...
try (Comparer comparer = new Comparer("source.docx")) {
comparer.add("target.docx");
final Path resultPath = comparer.compare("result.docx");
ChangeInfo[] changes = comparer.getChanges();
for (ChangeInfo change : changes) {
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Source text: " + change.getSourceText());
System.out.println("Target text: " + change.getTargetText());
}
}
The result is as follows:
import com.groupdocs.comparison.Comparer;
import com.groupdocs.comparison.result.ChangeInfo;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
// ...
try (Comparer comparer = new Comparer(sourceInputStream)) {
comparer.add(targetInputStream);
final Path resultPath = comparer.compare("result.docx");
ChangeInfo[] changes = comparer.getChanges();
for (ChangeInfo change : changes){
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Source text: "+change.getSourceText());
System.out.println("Target text: "+change.getTargetText());
}
}
