[tcsh]

Hi,

I have a few thousand .doc files all filled in with data following a pretty simple pattern/template.

Example:

NAME:
SURNAME:
AGE:
ADDRESS:
DATE:

I'd like to open the .doc in my delphi application, search for NAME: then identify, select and copy to clipboard EVERY BIT of text that starts right after NAME: all the way to where SURNAME: starts.

Example:

NAME: JOSH
SURNAME: JIM

It should copy JOSH to the clipboard.

Example #2:

NAME: JOSH 
JOSH
SURNAME: JIM

It should copy JOSH JOSH to the clipboard.

Example #3:

NAME: JOSH          JOSH
JOSH
SURNAME: JIM

It should copy JOSH JOSH JOSH to the clipboard.

Basically, should start copying everything starting right after : from the NAME: and stop right before S from/where SURNAME: starts.

Code so far:

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  WordApp : Variant;
  TextToFind : String;
  i: integer;
  fname: string;

 begin
  WordApp := CreateOleObject('Word.Application');
  WordApp.Visible := True;
  for i := 1 to 3 do

   begin
   fname := Memo1.Lines[i - 1];
   Wordapp.Documents.Open('C:\Users\tcsh\Desktop\A\'+fname);
   TextToFind :='NAME:';
   WordApp.Selection.Find.Execute(TextToFind);
   WordApp.Selection.Copy;
   Memo2.SetFocus;
   Memo2.PasteFromClipboard;
   end;

 end;

Managed to locate the .doc, open it, find NAME: and select it, copy it and paste it in Memo2 from the clipboard. Obviously, I need the text after NAME: as explained above and that's where I'm stuck.

Could anyone add to the code so I can get this done ?

Appreciate it.
