Edit text in Ruby SDK

Use REST API to edit text in Ruby programmatically

When developers modify a text document with this Ruby library, what is actually being edited is the Document Object Model (DOM). Thus, almost any changes can be made to the text document represented as DOM. With the provided Ruby SDK, developers can easily edit a document: modify text, update tables, add images and so on. Just load a text, make the necessary changes programmatically and export the result to the same or any supported save format.

Edit text in Ruby using REST API

Our Ruby library gives developers the ability to modify a text document directly by editing its Document Object Model (DOM), which means no additional software needs to be installed.

Edit text in text file using Ruby

The most popular case to edit a text file is text editing. With the given software solution, you can add, modify or delete text using Ruby within the document.

Edit table in text file using Ruby

Another popular text editing option is table editing. Our Ruby SDK allows you to work with tables and text in table cells.

Ruby developers can add or remove table and table cells, as well as add, edit and remove text within them.

Add an image to text file using Ruby

Besides editing text and tables in text, there is another common option: adding images to a document in Ruby. Ruby developers can also add an image into a text file using DOM.

Edit text programmatically

Try this powerful Ruby SDK and evaluate some options in text document editing. Using the following example, load your text document and make some changes: add text, add a table and a table cell with text or insert an image into the text document:

Upload a document you want to modify
Run code
Upload an image you want insert
Select the target format from the list
require 'aspose_words_cloud'

AsposeWordsCloud.configure do |config|
  config.client_data['ClientId'] = '####-####-####-####-####'
  config.client_data['ClientSecret'] = '##################'
end
@words_api = WordsAPI.new

request_document = File.open('Input.txt')
request_paragraph = ParagraphInsert.new({:Text => 'Morbi enim nunc faucibus a.'})
insert_paragraph_request = InsertParagraphOnlineRequest.new(document: request_document, 
   paragraph: request_paragraph)
insert_paragraph = @words_api.insert_paragraph_online(insert_paragraph_request)

convert_request = ConvertDocumentRequest.new(
   document: insert_paragraph.document.values[0], format: 'txt')
convert = @words_api.convert_document(convert_request)
require 'aspose_words_cloud'

AsposeWordsCloud.configure do |config|
  config.client_data['ClientId'] = '####-####-####-####-####'
  config.client_data['ClientSecret'] = '##################'
end
@words_api = WordsAPI.new

request_document = File.open('Input.txt')
request_table = TableInsert.new({:ColumnsCount => 1, :RowsCount => 2})
insert_table_request = InsertTableOnlineRequest.new(document: request_document, 
   table: request_table, node_path: '')
insert_table = @words_api.insert_table_online(insert_table_request)

convert_request = ConvertDocumentRequest.new(
   document: insert_table.document.values[0], format: 'txt')
convert = @words_api.convert_document(convert_request)
require 'aspose_words_cloud'

AsposeWordsCloud.configure do |config|
  config.client_data['ClientId'] = '####-####-####-####-####'
  config.client_data['ClientSecret'] = '##################'
end
@words_api = WordsAPI.new

request_document = File.open('Input1.txt')
request_drawing_object = DrawingObjectInsert.new({:Height => 0, :Left => 0, :Top => 0, 
   :Width => 0, :RelativeHorizontalPosition => 'Margin', 
      :RelativeVerticalPosition => 'Margin', :WrapType => 'Inline'})
request_image_file = File.open('Input2.txt')
insert_drawing_object_request = InsertDrawingObjectOnlineRequest.new(
   document: request_document, drawing_object: request_drawing_object, 
      image_file: request_image_file, node_path: 'sections/0')
insert_drawing_object = @words_api.insert_drawing_object_online(insert_drawing_object_request)

convert_request = ConvertDocumentRequest.new(
   document: insert_drawing_object.document.values[0], format: 'txt')
convert = @words_api.convert_document(convert_request)
