C#: Searching a text in Word and getting the range of the result

Tags:

c#

find

ms-word

I can find a text in a Word file via:

Word.Range range = wordApp.ActiveDocument.Content;
Word.Find find = range.Find;
find.Text = "xxx";
find.ClearFormatting();
find.Execute(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
    ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
    ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

This tells me if the text is found. But I need the range of the found text-piece.

Have you tried this:

 range.Find.Execute(
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, 
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);


 while (range.Find.Found) 
{ 
   //Get selected index.
   // Do as you please with range...
   //Positions:  range.Start... range.End
   //search again
   range.Find.Execute(
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, 
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

The range object should be changed by executing find on it.

So, likely you'd use range.Start and range.End to get the character positions. Reference
