Edit text in text using Java

Programmatic modification of text documents is an integral part of modern digital workflow. Edit text in text, insert graphs using external data, modify tables.

Java library is a stand-alone solution to edit text that doesn't rely on other software. It's ready for commercial use covers all possible needs of professional Java developers:

  • Modify existing text elements: tables, lists, charts, images, links, fields, etc.
  • Modify text styles and formatting attributes
  • Add new text elements
  • Search text for text patterns and replace them with new text
  • Save the result to a variety of file formats using 'Document.Save' method
  • Remove unwanted text elements (paragraphs, pages, sections, chapters)

Change text in Java

Java text programmatic editor provides developers with a modern API to edit text programmatically. Quickly integrate text modification features into your software. Our library supports the modification of a variety of document formats in Java.

The task of editing text programmatically in Java is the task of modifying elements in the text document tree. It is also known as the 'DOM' - the programming model for interacting with text document elements and their properties.

Edit text in Java

text modification features are inseparable from the advanced text search functionality. For a hig level of flexibility, our Java library provides developers with text Regex-based search functionality. This approach expands the possibilities to edit text in text files, allowing the use of templates for dynamic text transformation.

Edit table in text using Java

One of the most requested features is the dynamic creation and modification of tables in text documents. Working with tables is very convenient with Java library: edit tables, update tables and extract table text using Java.

The following example demostrates how to modify a text document in Java:

Example in Java to edit TXT files
Upload a document you want to modify
Run code
import com.aspose.words.*;

Document doc = new Document("Input.txt");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert text at the beginning of the document.
builder.moveToDocumentStart();
builder.writeln("Morbi enim nunc faucibus a.");

doc.save("Output.txt");
import com.aspose.words.*;

Document doc = new Document("Input.txt");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert table at the beginning of the document.
builder.moveToDocumentStart();
builder.startTable();
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 1, cell 1.");
builder.insertCell();
builder.write("Row 1, cell 2.");
builder.endTable();

doc.save("Output.txt");
import com.aspose.words.*;

Document doc = new Document("Input.txt");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert image at the beginning of the document.
builder.moveToDocumentStart();
builder.insertImage("Image.png");

doc.save("Output.txt");
Run code
