I'm making a program which needs to look through a paragraph of text and find how many times a certain keyword/keywords appear. It also has to highlight each of these key words in the text.
I have managed to make he interface and it can now track how many times the word appears but I am really stuck for how to highlight where the keywords appear. I will post my code below, any help is greatly appreciated on how to search for and highlight text inside a richtextbox. Since this is in WPF the obvious richtextbox.find() is not avaliable for use.
class TextAnalyser
{
public int FindNumberOfOccurances(List<string> keywords, string email)
{
int occurances = 0;
foreach (string keyword in keywords)
{
occurances += email.ToUpper().Split(new string[] { keyword.ToUpper() }, StringSplitOptions.None).Count() - 1;
}
return occurances;
}
public void TurnTextRed(List<string> keywords, string email, RichTextBox TextBox)
{
foreach(string keyword in keywords)
{
}
}
public List<string> ConvertTextToList(string text)
{
char[] splitChars = {};
string[] ArrayText = text.Split( splitChars, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
return ArrayText.ToList<string>();
}
public string GetStringFromTextBox(RichTextBox TextBox)
{
var textRange = new TextRange(
TextBox.Document.ContentStart,
TextBox.Document.ContentEnd
);
return textRange.Text;
}
}
And here is my Main Window
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void AnalyseButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var textTool = new TextAnalyser();
var keyWords = textTool.ConvertTextToList(textTool.GetStringFromTextBox(WordTextBox).Trim());
var email = textTool.GetStringFromTextBox(EmailTextBox).Trim();
int usesOfWord = textTool.FindNumberOfOccurances(keyWords, email);
Occurances.Text = usesOfWord.ToString();
}
}
Here is the method is used to get all of word in richtextbox's document.
public static IEnumerable<TextRange> GetAllWordRanges(FlowDocument document)
{
string pattern = @"[^\W\d](\w|[-']{1,2}(?=\w))*";
TextPointer pointer = document.ContentStart;
while (pointer != null)
{
if (pointer.GetPointerContext(LogicalDirection.Forward) == TextPointerContext.Text)
{
string textRun = pointer.GetTextInRun(LogicalDirection.Forward);
MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(textRun, pattern);
foreach (Match match in matches)
{
int startIndex = match.Index;
int length = match.Length;
TextPointer start = pointer.GetPositionAtOffset(startIndex);
TextPointer end = start.GetPositionAtOffset(length);
yield return new TextRange(start, end);
}
}
pointer = pointer.GetNextContextPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);
}
}
You can change the pattern which is used to split words.
At last, easy to highlight your words.
IEnumerable<TextRange> wordRanges = GetAllWordRanges(RichTextBox.Document);
foreach (TextRange wordRange in wordRanges)
{
if (wordRange.Text == "keyword")
{
wordRange.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.ForegroundProperty, Brushes.Red);
}
}
