Hi Pavani,

If the first string expression (in this case "R001") is getting repeated at the start of each line and what you want it to just show it at the beginning of first line, then better get the first repeated expression in a seperate string expression and then replace all the expressions equal to the one obtained("R001") earlier to empty String("").

Finally after trimming white spaces and inserting newline whatsoever the case may be finally append the repeated expression to the obtained string at the beginning of it as is done below:

/Get String after trimming white spaces and inserting extra new line after the end of each line to increase spacing between lines/

String str1 = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_StringNewline();

/Get the repeated expression in a string variable/

String startExp = str1.subString(0,4);

/Replace all repeated expression with empty string/

str1 = str1.replaceAll(startExp, "");

/Append the repeated expression in the beginning of the first line/

str1 = startExp + str1;

/Set the target expression to the context displaying in a textview or text edit/

wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_StringNewline(str1);

Hope your problem is address well with this.

hi,

If the chacters at the beginning are always the same number, you can use

"R001 comapny test".substring(5)

So you can loop over your values and remove alway the same amount of characters at the beginning of the String.

Hi Pavani,

Let the string with newline characters be set in the context under context variable Va_StringNewline which is either bound to textview or textedit. Use the following code to increase the spacing between lines:

String str1 = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_StringNewline();

if(str1.indexOf("\n")!=-1){

str1 = str1.replaceAll("\n", "\n\n");

}

wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_StringNewline(str1);

Similarly, for trimming down spaces even between words use:

String str1 = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_StringNewline();

if(str1.indexOf(" ")!=-1){

str1 = str1.replaceAll(" ", "");

}

wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_StringNewline(str1);

Hi

If Input is like

String a = "hello     everyone     out      ";

use

a = a.replaceAll("\\s+", " ");

Also, "
s+" will match single spaces which then get replaced with a single white space, so you could do "
s{2,}" which will match 2 or more white space characters, or "[ ]{2,}" if you don't want to replace new lines.

Hi Friend,

String a = "hello     everyone     out      ";
	a = a.replaceAll("
s+", " ");
	System.out.println(a);

the Output is

hello everyone out

Or You can Do like this if you know the number of space.

String St = "Jeetendra Kumar Choudhary";

System.out.println(St.replace(" ", ""));

St.replaceAll(" ","")

the output is

JeetendraKumarChoudhary.

Regards

Jeetendra.
