  // The field result is where the last evaluated value is stored. This is what is displayed in the document
  // When field codes are not showing

  // Display the field code which defines the behavior of the field. This can been seen in Microsoft Word by pressing ALT+F9

Method Detail

• getFieldCode

  public java.lang.String getFieldCode()

  Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator). Both field code and field result of child fields are included.

  Example:

  Inserts a field into a document using DocumentBuilder and FieldCode.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Insert a simple Date field into the document
  // When we insert a field through the DocumentBuilder class we can get the
  // special Field object which contains information about the field
  Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");
  
  // Update this particular field in the document so we can get the FieldResult
  dateField.update();
  
  // Display some information from this field
  // The field result is where the last evaluated value is stored. This is what is displayed in the document
  // When field codes are not showing
  System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("FieldResult: {0}", dateField.getResult()));
  
  // Display the field code which defines the behavior of the field. This can been seen in Microsoft Word by pressing ALT+F9
  System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("FieldCode: {0}", dateField.getFieldCode()));
  
  // The field type defines what type of field in the Document this is. In this case the type is "FieldDate"
  System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("FieldType: {0}", dateField.getType()));
  
  // Finally let's completely remove the field from the document. This can easily be done by invoking the Remove method on the object
  dateField.remove();

  Example:

  Shows how to get text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested fields.docx");
  
  for (Field field : doc.getRange().getFields()) {
      if (field.getType() == FieldType.FIELD_IF) {
          FieldIf fieldIf = (FieldIf) field;
  
          String fieldCode = fieldIf.getFieldCode();
  
          if (containsNestedFields) {
              fieldCode = fieldIf.getFieldCode(true);
          } else {
              fieldCode = fieldIf.getFieldCode(false);
          }
      }
  }

• getFieldCode

  public java.lang.String getFieldCode(boolean includeChildFieldCodes)

  Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).

  Parameters:

  includeChildFieldCodes - True if child field codes should be included.

  Example:

  Shows how to get text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested fields.docx");
  
  for (Field field : doc.getRange().getFields()) {
      if (field.getType() == FieldType.FIELD_IF) {
          FieldIf fieldIf = (FieldIf) field;
  
          String fieldCode = fieldIf.getFieldCode();
  
          if (containsNestedFields) {
              fieldCode = fieldIf.getFieldCode(true);
          } else {
              fieldCode = fieldIf.getFieldCode(false);
          }
      }
  }

• remove

  public Node remove()
             throws java.lang.Exception

  Removes the field from the document. Returns a node right after the field. If the field's end is the last child of its parent node, returns its parent paragraph. If the field is already removed, returns null.

  Example:

  Shows how to work with a document's field collection.

  public void fieldCollection() throws Exception
  {
      // Create a new document and insert some fields

      builder.insertField(" AUTHOR  \"John Doe\" ");
      builder.insertField(" SUBJECT \"My Subject\" ");
      builder.insertField(" QUOTE \"Hello world!\" ");
      doc.updateFields();
  
      // Get the collection that contains all the fields in a document
      FieldCollection fields = doc.getRange().getFields();
      Assert.assertEquals(fields.getCount(), 6);
  
      // Iterate over the field collection and print contents and type of every field using a custom visitor implementation

      while (fieldEnumerator.hasNext()) {
          if (fieldEnumerator.next() != null) {
              Field currentField = fieldEnumerator.next();
  
              currentField.getStart().accept(fieldVisitor);
              if (currentField.getSeparator() != null) {
                  currentField.getSeparator().accept(fieldVisitor);
              }
              currentField.getEnd().accept(fieldVisitor);
          } else {
              System.out.println("There are no fields in the document.");
          }
      }
  
      System.out.println(fieldVisitor.getText());
  
      // Get a field to remove itself
      fields.get(0).remove();
      Assert.assertEquals(fields.getCount(), 5);
  
      // Remove a field by reference
      Field lastField = fields.get(3);
      fields.remove(lastField);
      Assert.assertEquals(fields.getCount(), 4);
  
      // Remove a field by index
      fields.removeAt(2);
      Assert.assertEquals(fields.getCount(), 3);
  
      // Remove all fields from the document
      fields.clear();
      Assert.assertEquals(fields.getCount(), 0);

  Example:

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Insert a simple Date field into the document
  // When we insert a field through the DocumentBuilder class we can get the

  // Display the field code which defines the behavior of the field. This can been seen in Microsoft Word by pressing ALT+F9
  System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("FieldCode: {0}", dateField.getFieldCode()));
  
  // The field type defines what type of field in the Document this is. In this case the type is "FieldDate"
  System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("FieldType: {0}", dateField.getType()));
  
  // Finally let's completely remove the field from the document. This can easily be done by invoking the Remove method on the object
  dateField.remove();

• unlink

  public boolean unlink()
                throws java.lang.Exception

  Performs the field unlink.

  Replaces the field with its most recent result.

  Some fields, such as XE (Index Entry) fields and SEQ (Sequence) fields, cannot be unlinked.

  Returns:

  True if the field has been unlinked, otherwise false.

  Example:

  Shows how to unlink specific field.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Linked fields.docx");
  doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).unlink();

• update

  public void update()
             throws java.lang.Exception

  Performs the field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.

  Example:

  Inserts a field into a document using DocumentBuilder and FieldCode.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Insert a simple Date field into the document
  // When we insert a field through the DocumentBuilder class we can get the
  // special Field object which contains information about the field
  Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");
  
  // Update this particular field in the document so we can get the FieldResult

• update

  public void update(boolean ignoreMergeFormat)
             throws java.lang.Exception

  Performs a field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.

  Parameters:

  ignoreMergeFormat - If true then direct field result formatting is abandoned, regardless of the MERGEFORMAT switch, otherwise normal update is performed.

  Example:

  Shows a way to update a field ignoring the MERGEFORMAT switch.

  LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions(); { loadOptions.setPreserveIncludePictureField(true); }
  
  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Field INCLUDEPICTURE.docx", loadOptions);
