Hi,

I work for a website in publishing dept and i work on PDF's with lot of content related to tax and accounting. Usually every PDF i receive will have a INDEX like below.

12230 Change in Accountants
12240 Change in Fiscal Year
12250 Auditor Issues

This text in INDEX will again repeat in the content as heading for a paragaraph like below.

12230 Change in Accountants
(Last updated: 6/30/2009)
12230.1 Unless the same accountant reported on the most recent financial statements of
both the registrant and the accounting acquirer, a reverse acquisition always

I will convert the PDF in to text and Then i will seperate the INDEX part and place it in textbox1 and rest of the content in textbox2.

When pasted in Textbox1 my INDEX will look like below:

12230 Change in Accountants
12240 Change in Fiscal Year
12250 Auditor Issues

And content in Textbox will look like below:

12230 Change in Accountants
(Last updated: 6/30/2009)
12230.1 Unless the same accountant reported on the most recent financial statements

12240 Change in Fiscal Year
12240.1 A Form 8-K filed in connection with a reverse acquisition should disclose under
Item 5.03 of the Form 8-K any intended change in fiscal year from the fiscal
year end used by the registrant prior to the acquisition.

12250 Auditor Issues
(Last updated: 6/30/2009)
12250.1 Reverse Recapitalization with a Public Shell Company

So whenever the text in INDEX(textbox1) is repeating in the content(textbox2 bold content) i need to add the heading levels(Prefix and suffix Tags)

Eg: "< hd1 >< name >12230 Change in Accountants< /name >" with a button click.

What i am actually looking for is a find and replace option. Find the content in textbox1(Index) individual line and replace that text with the tags suggested above in textbox2(Content).

The challenge here is find the individual line from textbox1 and replace that same content in textbox2 which is placed somewhere in the middle of the document.

What part exactly you are stuck with? PDF to Text? Data out of Index? Data out of Textbox?

Wont a simple find and replace work or you are having any other issues with find and replace.

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Test
{
    class RegexProcessing
    {

        public void process()
        {
            string value = "12230 Change in Accountants\r\n" +
                           "12240 Change in Fiscal Year\r\n" +
                           "12250 Auditor Issues";
            string modifiedValue = "12230 Change in Accountants\r\n" +
            "(Last updated: 6/30/2009)" +
            "12230.1 Unless the same accountant reported on the most recent financial statements of\r\n" +
            "both the registrant and the accounting acquirer, a reverse acquisition always\r\n" +
            "12240 Change in Fiscal Year\r\n" +
            "12240.1 A Form 8-K filed in connection with a reverse acquisition should disclose under\r\n" +
            "Item 5.03 of the Form 8-K any intended change in fiscal year from the fiscal\r\n" +
            "year end used by the registrant prior to the acquisition\r\n" +
                "12250 Auditor Issues\r\n" +
            "(Last updated: 6/30/2009)\r\n" +
            "12250.1 Reverse Recapitalization with a Public Shell Company\r\n";

            string[] lines = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(value, "\r\n");

            foreach (string line in lines)
            {
                modifiedValue = modifiedValue.Replace(line, "<hd1><name>" + line + "</hd1></name> ");
            }
            Console.WriteLine(modifiedValue);
        }
    }
}

Output :
