Find the Range of particular Text and Mark that text as hyperlink about docx

[zimmermanw84]

@arunln This is a 2 year old comment so I assume this problem is far in your rear view, so I am commenting for anyone else who may find this useful.

I found a workaround to inserting Hyperlinks into a document where an arbitrary text string is located. Obviously there's performance implications to this, but it works in the interim until the maintainers add this functionality.

// create a hyperlink
Hyperlink linkedTitle = document.AddHyperlink(content, new Uri(href));
// FindAll returns a List of starting indexes where your string was found
List<int> textMatchIndexes = document.FindAll(stringToMatch, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
// hack to insert (insert a paragraph because you can insert at an index)
foreach (int index in textMatchIndexes)
{
  // insert p at index
   var p = document.InsertParagraph(index, "", false);
   // add hyper link to it
   p.AppendHyperlink(linkedTitle).Color(Color.Blue).UnderlineStyle(UnderlineStyle.singleLine);
} 
// replace placeholder text with empty string
document.ReplaceText(stringToMatch, "", false, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

Obviously not the most straight forward approach.

Hi,
in the next release, v1.6, a new method will be available to replace a string by an hyperlink :
ReplaceTextWithObject( string searchValue, DocumentElement objectToAdd )
Thank you.
