getType

public int getType()

Gets the Microsoft Word field type. The value of the property is FieldType integer constant.

Example:

Shows how to insert a field into a document using a field code.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");

Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, dateField.getType());
Assert.assertEquals("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT", dateField.getFieldCode());

Method Detail

getFieldCode

public java.lang.String getFieldCode()

Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator). Both field code and field result of child fields are included.

Example:

Shows how to get a field's field code.

// Open a document which contains a MERGEFIELD inside an IF field.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested fields.docx");
FieldIf fieldIf = (FieldIf)doc.getRange().getFields().get(0);

// There are two ways of getting a field's field code:
// 1 -  Omit its inner fields:
Assert.assertEquals(" IF  > 0 \" (surplus of ) \" \"\" ", fieldIf.getFieldCode(false));

// 2 -  Include its inner fields:
Assert.assertEquals(" IF \u0013 MERGEFIELD NetIncome \u0014\u0015 > 0 \" (surplus of \u0013 MERGEFIELD  NetIncome \\f $ \u0014\u0015) \" \"\" ",
    fieldIf.getFieldCode(true));

// By default, the GetFieldCode method displays inner fields.
Assert.assertEquals(fieldIf.getFieldCode(), fieldIf.getFieldCode(true));

Example:

Shows how to insert a field into a document using a field code.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Field dateField = builder.insertField("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT");

Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_DATE, dateField.getType());
Assert.assertEquals("DATE \\* MERGEFORMAT", dateField.getFieldCode());

getFieldCode

public java.lang.String getFieldCode(boolean includeChildFieldCodes)

Returns text between field start and field separator (or field end if there is no separator).

Parameters:: includeChildFieldCodes - True if child field codes should be included.

Example:

Shows how to get a field's field code.

// Open a document which contains a MERGEFIELD inside an IF field.
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Nested fields.docx");
FieldIf fieldIf = (FieldIf)doc.getRange().getFields().get(0);

// There are two ways of getting a field's field code:
// 1 -  Omit its inner fields:
Assert.assertEquals(" IF  > 0 \" (surplus of ) \" \"\" ", fieldIf.getFieldCode(false));

// 2 -  Include its inner fields:
Assert.assertEquals(" IF \u0013 MERGEFIELD NetIncome \u0014\u0015 > 0 \" (surplus of \u0013 MERGEFIELD  NetIncome \\f $ \u0014\u0015) \" \"\" ",
    fieldIf.getFieldCode(true));

// By default, the GetFieldCode method displays inner fields.
Assert.assertEquals(fieldIf.getFieldCode(), fieldIf.getFieldCode(true));

getFieldNames

public java.lang.String[] getFieldNames()
                      throws java.lang.Exception

Returns a collection of mail merge field names used by the field.

Example:

Shows how to get mail merge field names used by the field.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Field sample - ADDRESSBLOCK.docx");

String[] addressFieldsExpect = {"Company", "First Name", "Middle Name", "Last Name", "Suffix", "Address 1", "City", "State", "Country or Region", "Postal Code"};

FieldAddressBlock addressBlockField = (FieldAddressBlock) doc.getRange().getFields().get(0);
String[] addressBlockFieldNames = addressBlockField.getFieldNames();

remove

public Node remove()
           throws java.lang.Exception

Removes the field from the document. Returns a node right after the field. If the field's end is the last child of its parent node, returns its parent paragraph. If the field is already removed, returns null.

Example:

Shows how to process PRIVATE fields.

public void fieldPrivate() throws Exception
{
    // Open a Corel WordPerfect document which we have converted to .docx format.
    Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Field sample - PRIVATE.docx");

    // WordPerfect 5.x/6.x documents like the one we have loaded may contain PRIVATE fields.
    // Microsoft Word preserves PRIVATE fields during load/save operations,
    // but provides no functionality for them.
    FieldPrivate field = (FieldPrivate)doc.getRange().getFields().get(0);

    Assert.assertEquals(" PRIVATE \"My value\" ", field.getFieldCode());
    Assert.assertEquals(FieldType.FIELD_PRIVATE, field.getType());

    // We can also insert PRIVATE fields using a document builder.
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
    builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_PRIVATE, true);

    // These fields are not a viable way of protecting sensitive information.
    // Unless backward compatibility with older versions of WordPerfect is essential,
    // we can safely remove these fields. We can do this using a DocumentVisiitor implementation.
    Assert.assertEquals(2, doc.getRange().getFields().getCount());

    FieldPrivateRemover remover = new FieldPrivateRemover();
    doc.accept(remover);

    Assert.assertEquals(remover.getFieldsRemovedCount(), 2);
    Assert.assertEquals(doc.getRange().getFields().getCount(), 0);
}

/// <summary>
/// Removes all encountered PRIVATE fields.
/// </summary>
public static class FieldPrivateRemover extends DocumentVisitor {
    public FieldPrivateRemover() {
        mFieldsRemovedCount = 0;
    }

    public int getFieldsRemovedCount() {
        return mFieldsRemovedCount;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Called when a FieldEnd node is encountered in the document.
    /// If the node belongs to a PRIVATE field, the entire field is removed.
    /// </summary>
    public int visitFieldEnd(final FieldEnd fieldEnd) throws Exception {
        if (fieldEnd.getFieldType() == FieldType.FIELD_PRIVATE) {
            fieldEnd.getField().remove();
            mFieldsRemovedCount++;
        }

        return VisitorAction.CONTINUE;
    }

    private int mFieldsRemovedCount;
}

Example:

Shows how to remove fields from a field collection.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.insertField(" DATE \\@ \"dddd, d MMMM yyyy\" ");
builder.insertField(" TIME ");
builder.insertField(" REVNUM ");
builder.insertField(" AUTHOR  \"John Doe\" ");
builder.insertField(" SUBJECT \"My Subject\" ");
builder.insertField(" QUOTE \"Hello world!\" ");
doc.updateFields();

// This collection stores all of a document's fields.
FieldCollection fields = doc.getRange().getFields();

Assert.assertEquals(6, fields.getCount());

// Below are four ways of removing fields from a field collection.
// 1 -  Get a field to remove itself:
fields.get(0).remove();
Assert.assertEquals(5, fields.getCount());

// 2 -  Get the collection to remove a field that we pass to its removal method:
Field lastField = fields.get(3);
fields.remove(lastField);
Assert.assertEquals(4, fields.getCount());

// 3 -  Remove a field from a collection at an index:
fields.removeAt(2);
Assert.assertEquals(3, fields.getCount());

// 4 -  Remove all the fields from the collection at once:
fields.clear();
Assert.assertEquals(0, fields.getCount());

unlink
```
public boolean unlink()
              throws java.lang.Exception
```
Performs the field unlink.
Replaces the field with its most recent result.
Some fields, such as XE (Index Entry) fields and SEQ (Sequence) fields, cannot be unlinked.
Returns:
True if the field has been unlinked, otherwise false.
Example:
Shows how to unlink a field.
```
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Linked fields.docx");
doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).unlink();
```

update

public void update()
           throws java.lang.Exception

Performs the field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.

Example:

Shows how to format field results.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Use a document builder to insert a field that displays a result with no format applied.
Field field = builder.insertField("= 2 + 3");

Assert.assertEquals("= 2 + 3", field.getFieldCode());
Assert.assertEquals("5", field.getResult());

// We can apply a format to a field's result using the field's attributes.
// Below are three types of formats that we can apply to a field's result.
// 1 -  Numeric format:
FieldFormat format = field.getFormat();
format.setNumericFormat("$###.00");
field.update();

Assert.assertEquals("= 2 + 3 \\# $###.00", field.getFieldCode());
Assert.assertEquals("$  5.00", field.getResult());

// 2 -  Date/time format:
field = builder.insertField("DATE");
format = field.getFormat();
format.setDateTimeFormat("dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy");
field.update();

Assert.assertEquals("DATE \\@ \"dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy\"", field.getFieldCode());
System.out.println("Today's date, in {format.DateTimeFormat} format:\n\t{field.Result}");

// 3 -  General format:
field = builder.insertField("= 25 + 33");
format = field.getFormat();
format.getGeneralFormats().add(GeneralFormat.LOWERCASE_ROMAN);
format.getGeneralFormats().add(GeneralFormat.UPPER);
field.update();

int index = 0;
Iterator<Integer> generalFormatEnumerator = format.getGeneralFormats().iterator();
while (generalFormatEnumerator.hasNext()) {
    int value = generalFormatEnumerator.next();
    System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("General format index {0}: {1}", index++, value));
}

Assert.assertEquals("= 25 + 33 \\* roman \\* Upper", field.getFieldCode());
Assert.assertEquals("LVIII", field.getResult());
Assert.assertEquals(2, format.getGeneralFormats().getCount());
Assert.assertEquals(GeneralFormat.LOWERCASE_ROMAN, format.getGeneralFormats().get(0));

// We can remove our formats to revert the field's result to its original form.
format.getGeneralFormats().remove(GeneralFormat.LOWERCASE_ROMAN);
format.getGeneralFormats().removeAt(0);
Assert.assertEquals(0, format.getGeneralFormats().getCount());
field.update();

Assert.assertEquals("= 25 + 33  ", field.getFieldCode());
Assert.assertEquals("58", field.getResult());
Assert.assertEquals(0, format.getGeneralFormats().getCount());

Example:

Shows how to insert a field into a document using FieldType.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Insert two fields while passing a flag which determines whether to update them as the builder inserts them.
// In some cases, updating fields could be computationally expensive, and it may be a good idea to defer the update.
// Not all field types require updating, exceptions include BARCODE and MERGEFIELD.
doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().setAuthor("John Doe");
builder.write("This document was written by ");
builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_AUTHOR, updateInsertedFieldsImmediately);

builder.insertParagraph();
builder.write("\nThis is page ");
builder.insertField(FieldType.FIELD_PAGE, updateInsertedFieldsImmediately);

Assert.assertEquals(" AUTHOR ", doc.getRange().getFields().get(0).getFieldCode());
Assert.assertEquals(" PAGE ", doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).getFieldCode());

if (updateInsertedFieldsImmediately)
{
    Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", doc.getRange().getFields().get(0).getResult());
    Assert.assertEquals("1", doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).getResult());
}
else
{
    Assert.assertEquals("", doc.getRange().getFields().get(0).getResult());
    Assert.assertEquals("", doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).getResult());

    // We will need to update these fields using the update methods manually.
    doc.getRange().getFields().get(0).update();

    Assert.assertEquals("John Doe", doc.getRange().getFields().get(0).getResult());

doc.updateFields();

Assert.assertEquals("1", doc.getRange().getFields().get(1).getResult());
}

update
```
public void update(boolean ignoreMergeFormat)
           throws java.lang.Exception
```
Performs a field update. Throws if the field is being updated already.
Parameters:
ignoreMergeFormat - If true then direct field result formatting is abandoned, regardless of the MERGEFORMAT switch, otherwise normal update is performed.
