I did a search and replace function in .docx document. I use module python-docx:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from docx import *
document = opendocx('test.docx')
TAG_LIST=[u'TAG1',u'TAG2',u'TAG3']
VALUE_LIST=[u'TEST1',u'TEST2',u'TEST3']
def search(document):
result = False
for element in document.iter():
if element.text == '{':
result=True
if result and element.text != '}':
for i in range(0,len(TAG_LIST)):
if element.text == TAG_LIST[i]:
element.text=re.sub(TAG_LIST[i], VALUE_LIST[i], element.text)
print(element.text)
search(document)
This function finds the document tags in {}
, verifies them with a TAG_LIST
and makes replace to VALUE_LIST
. I want to save element.text
after re.sub
function but don't know how to do it. I know that it is possible to read the entire text of document.xml
, then do a replace, but loading the text into a buffer spends a lot of memory. Any ideas how to do it?
