Request - return TableCell

[svvparakala]

Is there some way to have the method replaceWordsinTables not just replace the word, but also return the location of the table cell in which the replaced word was found? I would like to do some custom formatting on it, and instead of having to search for that specific table cell again just use the return value to edit it.

Hey @svvparakala, i have made a solution to get a Pointer (XmlCursor) were the bookmark has been found

i have Wrapped the wrapper :
TextReplacer and WordReplacer

Code is below :

`public class TextReplacerWrapper extends TextReplacer {
private XmlCursor cursor;

@Override
public void onWordFoundInRun(XWPFRun run) {
	super.onWordFoundInRun(run);
	this.cursor = ((XWPFParagraph) run.getParent()).getCTP().newCursor();    	    	
}

@Override
public void onWordFoundInPreviousCurrentNextRun(List<XWPFRun> runs, int currentRun) {
    super.onWordFoundInPreviousCurrentNextRun(runs, currentRun);
	this.cursor = ((XWPFParagraph) runs.get(0).getParent()).getCTP().newCursor();    	    	

}
public void replaceInText(XWPFDocument document, String bookmark, String replacement) {
	super.replaceInText(document, bookmark, replacement);
}
public void replaceInTable(XWPFDocument document, String bookmark, String replacement) {
	super.replaceInTable(document, bookmark, replacement);
}

public XmlCursor getCursor()
{
	return this.cursor;
}

}`

and

`public class WordReplacerWrapper extends WordReplacer {
private TextReplacerWrapper replacer;
private XWPFDocument document;
private XmlCursor cursor;

public WordReplacerWrapper(XWPFDocument xwpfDoc) {
	super(xwpfDoc);
    this.init(xwpfDoc);

}

public WordReplacerWrapper(File docxFile) throws IOException {
    super(docxFile);
    this.init(this.document);
}

private void init(XWPFDocument xwpfDoc) {
    if (xwpfDoc == null) throw new NullPointerException();
    this.document = xwpfDoc;
    this.replacer = new TextReplacerWrapper();
}

/**
 * Replaces all occurrences of a bookmark only in the text of the file with a replacement string.
 * @param bookmark word to replace.
 * @param replacement word of replacement.
 */
public void replaceWordsInText(String bookmark, String replacement) {
    replacer.replaceInText(document, bookmark, replacement);
}


/**
 * Replaces all occurrences of a bookmark only in tables of the file with a replacement string.
 * @param bookmark word to replace.
 * @param replacement word of replacement.
 */
public void replaceWordsInTables(String bookmark, String replacement) {
    replacer.replaceInTable(document, bookmark, replacement);

}


public XmlCursor getCursor()
{
	this.cursor = this.replacer.getCursor();
	return this.cursor;
}

}`

This allow you to :

 `
 WordReplacerWrapper wReplacer =  new WordReplacerWrapper(document);
 wReplacer.replaceWordsInText(bookMark, valueToReplace);
 
XmlCursor tableCursor = wReplacer.getCursor();

`

then you do what you want with the cursor : 
exemple 

`XWPFDocument doc.insertNewTbl(tableCursor);`

This is a temporary solution untill i have some time and PR the code to @deividasstr
