copying the Paragraph Style attribute into another attribute

I posted the same thread on the RPE forums, but this forum might be a better place
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=378243

We have a template that looks at an object-level DOORS attribute called "Style", and whatever value it is, that is the style from the Word stylesheet that it tries to use.

When you import a document from Word, it puts the style for the particular paragraph into the "Paragraph Style" attribute. This value has some encoding to it, for example, "<Object Heading:Heading 1>" or "<Object Text:Normal>".

Does anyone have a DXL script that will copy just the style name from "Paragraph Style" and place it into another attribute?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

if you create this new attribut as DXL, you can use :


obj.attrDXLName = richTextWithOle obj.
"Paragraph Style"

That will give me the same text as Paragraph Style, I am looking for just the Style name.

For example,

If "Paragraph Style" == "<Object Heading:Heading 1>" then "Style" == "Heading 1"

Thoughts?

This will get you going:


string Re_String = 
"^(<Object )(Heading|Text)(:)(.*)(>)$" Regexp reValidStyle = regexp2(Re_String)   

void   Check(string ParaStyle) 
{   string  Style 

if (reValidStyle ParaStyle) 
{  Style = ParaStyle[match 4] print  
"true\t[" ParaStyle 
"]\t["Style 
"]\n" 
} 

else 
{  print  
"false\t[" ParaStyle 
"]\t["
"]\n" 
} 
} print Re_String 
"\n" Check(
"<Object Heading:Heading 1>") Check(
"<Object Text:Normal>") delete(reValidStyle)

Thanks, I used that as a starting point and came up with a solution that works for me, so we can mark this answered:

string Re_String = "(:)(.*)(>)$"
Regexp reValidStyle = regexp2(Re_String)

string parseStyle(string ParaStyle, Object o)
{
string str = ""
if (reValidStyle ParaStyle)
{
str = ParaStylematch 2
}

return str
}

Object o

for o in current Module do {
string paraStyle = o."Paragraph Style"
string styleStr = parseStyle(paraStyle,o)
Style = styleStr
}

delete(reValidStyle)
