Find Field Properties

A field which is inserted using DocumentBuilder.InsertField returns a Field object. This is a facade class which provides useful methods to quickly find such properties of a field.

The following code example shows how to find the field code and field result:

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-words/Aspose.Words-for-Java
Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Hyperlinks.docx");

for (Field field : doc.getRange().getFields())
{
    String fieldCode = field.getFieldCode();
    String fieldResult = field.getResult();
}

Note if you are only looking for the names of merge fields in the document then you can instead use the built-in method GetFieldNames.

The following code example shows how to get names of all merge fields in a document.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-words/Aspose.Words-for-Java
Document doc = new Document();

String[] fieldNames = doc.getMailMerge().getFieldNames();
