Recently I wrote some code that implemented search-and-replace for Open XML WordprocessingML documents<\/a>.\u00a0 I wrote that code for an Open XML developer who needed to implement that functionality using XML DOM, although with a different language than C#.\u00a0 Because XML DOM is standardized, translating the code to another language and another implementation of XML DOM is relatively straightforward.<\/p>\n

I want to introduce search-and-replace functionality in a CMDLET in PowerTools for Open XML<\/a>, but I have been moving PowerTools code away from XmlDocument, so I rewrote the search-and-replace code using LINQ to XML, using a functional transform.\u00a0 It was an interesting and fun project.\u00a0 The video below introduces the TextReplacer class, and compares it to the code that I presented that uses XmlDocument.\u00a0 It is an interesting comparison of imperative code (using XmlDocument) and functional code (using LINQ to XML).<\/p>\n

You can download the TextReplacer class from this blog post<\/a> (in an attachment at the bottom).<\/p>\n
