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.
using System;
using GroupDocs.Comparison;
using GroupDocs.Comparison.Result;
// ...
using (Comparer comparer = new Comparer("source.docx"))
{
comparer.Add("target.docx");
comparer.Compare("result.docx");
ChangeInfo[] changes = comparer.GetChanges();
foreach (ChangeInfo change in changes)
{
Console.WriteLine("");
Console.WriteLine("Source text: " + change.SourceText);
Console.WriteLine("Target text: " + change.TargetText);
}
}
The result is as follows:
using System;
using GroupDocs.Comparison;
using GroupDocs.Comparison.Result;
using System.IO;
// ...
using (Comparer comparer = new Comparer(File.OpenRead("source.docx")))
{
comparer.Add(File.OpenRead("target.docx"));
comparer.Compare("result.docx");
ChangeInfo[] changes = comparer.GetChanges();
foreach (ChangeInfo change in changes)
{
Console.WriteLine("");
Console.WriteLine("Source text: " + change.SourceText);
Console.WriteLine("Target text: " + change.TargetText);
}
}
