I’m trying to create/populate a Word document .docx file with data from grasshopper.
What I’ve found is this code for ironpython: https://gist.github.com/ejstembler/1049552
But when the script is executed, the text is replaced in the document only if I have the [textfield] in a single row. It doesn’t work if I put each field on a new row.
Anyone know what might is wrong with the script?
My python code:
import sys
import clr
import os
import System
from System import DateTime
import time
clr.AddReference("Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word")
import Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as Word
source_filename = "C:\Python27\Template.docx"
destination_filename = "C:\Python27\Result.docx"
missing = System.Type.Missing
replaceAll = Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll
word_application = Word.ApplicationClass()
word_application.Visible = False
document = word_application.Documents.Open(source_filename)
print document.StoryRanges
tokens = ["[Today]", "[First Name]", "[Last Name]", "[Company Name]", "[Address1]"] # etc...
values = [DateTime.Now, 'Eric', 'Jonsson', 'Spotify', 'Bridgestreet 1']
for i in range(len(tokens)):
for r in document.StoryRanges:
print "i = %d, tokens[i] = %s, values[i] = %s" % (i, tokens[i], values[i])
r.Find.Text = tokens[i]
r.Find.Replacement.Text = values[i]
r.Find.Wrap = Word.WdFindWrap.wdFindContinue
r.Find.Execute(missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, replaceAll, missing, missing, missing, missing)
document.SaveAs(destination_filename)
document.Close()
print 'saved'
document = None
word_application.Quit()
word_application = None
My Word Document Template.docx
This does not work
<< Template.docx >>
[Today]
[First Name]
[Last Name]
[Company Name]
[Address1]<< Result.docx >> [Today] [First Name] [Last Name] [Company Name] [Address1]
THIS WORKS!! - WHY?
<< Template.docx >>
[Today], [First Name] [Last Name], [Company Name], [Address1]<< Result.docx >>2018-04-30, Eric Jonsson, Spotify, Bridgestreet 1
