Word document

How to search for a specific string

in a Microsoft Word document
Use the Find Microsoft Word Object Model object

You can refer to the Microsoft Word 2000 Visual Basic Reference for a complete listing of Word
methods and properties that can be used within a QuickTest Professional (QTP) script. You can use
these Word object methods within a QTP script to create documents, edit documents, spell check,
etc.For a complete listing of Word object’s methods and properties, refer to MSDN Library – Microsoft
Word Object Model.

Note:
Microsoft Word’s object methods are not part of QuickTest Professional, therefore, they are not
guaranteed to work and are not supported by Mercury Customer Support. Any changes that Microsoft
may make to these methods are not the responsibility of Mercury.
These examples are not part of QuickTest Professional. They are not guaranteed to work and are not
supported by Mercury Customer Support. You are responsible for any and all modifications that may be
required.

The following example uses Word object methods to open a Microsoft Word Document and to use the
Find object (the Find and Replace functionality) to search for the word “apple.”

Example:
Dim wrdApp
Dim wrdDoc
Dim tString, tRange
Dim p, startRange, endRange
Dim searchString

‘Create the Word Object

Set wrdApp = CreateObject(“Word.Application”)
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open(“C:\Temp\SampleWord.doc”) ‘replace the file with your
MSDoc
searchString = “apple” ‘replace this with the text you’re searching for

With wrdDoc
For p = 1 To .Paragraphs.Count
startRange = .Paragraphs(p).Range.Start
endRange = .Paragraphs(p).Range.End
Set tRange = .Range(startRange, endRange)
‘ tString = tRange.Text
tRange.Find.Text = searchString
tRange.Find.Execute

If tRange.Find.Found Then
msgbox “Yes! ” & searchString & ” is present”
End If

Next
.Close ‘ close the document
End With
wrdApp.Quit ‘ close the Word application
Set wrdDoc = Nothing
Set wrdApp = Nothing

The following example uses Word object methods to open a Microsoft Word Document and retrieve
paragraphs from it. Then the InStr VBScript method is used to check for the word “apple.”

Example:
Dim wrdApp
Dim wrdDoc
Dim tString, tRange
Dim p, startRange, endRange
Dim searchString

Create the Word Object

Set wrdApp = CreateObject(“Word.Application”)
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open(“C:\Temp\Text.doc”) ‘replace the file with your MSDoc
searchString = “apple” ‘replace this with the text you’re searching for

With wrdDoc
For p = 1 To .Paragraphs.Count
startRange = .Paragraphs(p).Range.Start
endRange = .Paragraphs(p).Range.End
Set tRange = .Range(startRange, endRange)
tString = tRange.Text
tString = Left(tString, Len(tString) – 1) ‘exclude the paragraph-mark
If InStr(1, tString, searchString) > 0 Then ‘ check if the text has the content you want
‘ some other processing here
msgbox “Yes! ” & searchString & ” is present”
End If
Next
.Close ‘ close the document
End With
wrdApp.Quit ‘ close the Word application
Set wrdDoc = Nothing
