Features Introduced

Rendering Filtered Messages from Outlook Data Files

There might be the case when you want to render only the selected messages from Outlook Data Files (OST/PST). To deal with such case, we have introduced a new feature which allows you to filter the messages that you want to render from Outlook Data Files. At the moment, the following filters are available:

  • Filter by subject and content using OutlookOptions.TextFilter
  • Filter by the sender’s and recipient’s email addresses using OutlookOptions.AddressFilter

For a working example, please visit the following documentation article:

Rendering Email Messages Contained in Outlook Data Files

GroupDocs.Viewer now supports getting and rendering email messages that are contained in Outlook Data Files as attachments. These email messages are listed as Attachments in DocumentInfoContainer object that is returned by GetDocumentInfo method of the corresponding ViewerHandler.

For working examples, please visit the following documentation article:

Obtaining Layer’s Visibility Status in CAD Documents

The CAD document allows setting the visibility of the layers it contains. The layers are invisible when they frozen or switched off, otherwise, they are visible. The latest release of GroupDocs.Viewer allows getting the visibility status of the layers within a CAD document. This feature can be useful to decide which layer to render relying on a layer’s visibility status.

For a working example, please visit the following documentation article:

Perform Wildcard Search in GroupDocs.Search for Java 18.12

GroupDocs.Search for JavaWe are pleased to announce the monthly release of GroupDocs.Search for Java 18.12. Using the latest version, you can now index and search blended characters and perform a wildcard search. We would recommend you to install and use the latest version of the API.

Features

Following are the new features introduced in the latest version:

Blended Characters Search

GroupDocs.Search for Java API 18.12 introduces a new class of characters – blended. When indexing, blended characters are interpreted simultaneously as valid letters and as separators. For example, if the hyphen is marked as a blended character then indexing of term ‘silver-gray’ will result in saving of 3 terms in the index: ‘silver’, ‘gray’, and ‘silver-gray’. The following code snippet shows how to work with blended characters:


String indexFolder = "c:\\MyIndex";
String documentFolder = "c:\\MyDocuments";
  
// Creating index
Index index = new Index(indexFolder);
  
// Marking hyphen as blended character
index.getDictionaries().getAlphabet().setRange(new char[] { '-' }, CharacterType.Blended);
  
// Adding documents to index
index.addToIndex(documentFolder);
  
// Searching for word 'silver-gray'
SearchResults results = index.search("silver-gray");

For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.

Wildcard Search

The latest version allows performing search of words containing wildcards. There are two possible forms of wildcards to use in wildcard search:

  • ? – question mark representing one arbitrary character
  • ?(N~M) – the range of arbitrary characters in an amount from N to M, where N and M must be in the range from 0 to 255

The following code snippet shows how to perform wildcard search:


String indexFolder = "c:\\MyIndex";
String documentFolder = "c:\\MyDocuments";
  
// Creating index
Index index = new Index(indexFolder);
  
// Adding documents to index
index.addToIndex(documentFolder);
  
// Searching for words 'affect' or 'effect' in a one document with 
// 'principal', 'principle', 'principles', or 'principally'
SearchResults results1 = index.search("?ffect & princip?(2~4)");
  
// Searching with a single query for phrases 'assure equal opportunities', 
// 'ensure equal opportunities', and 'sure equal opportunities'
SearchResults results2 = index.search("\"?(0~2)sure equal opportunities\"");

Assemble External Document Dynamically using GroupDocs.Assembly for Java 18.12

Document Assembly APIWe are excitedly announcing the monthly release of GroupDocs.Assembly for Java 18.12. Using the latest version, you can now assemble external documents dynamically for Word Processing and Email file formats. Previously, an evaluation mark was added to a nested document being inserted dynamically, which is now fixed. We recommend you to install the latest version of the API for better user experience.

Features Introduced

You can insert contents of outer documents to your reports dynamically using doc tags. A doc tag denotes a placeholder within a template for a document to be inserted during runtime. The syntax of a doc tag is defined as follows:

<<doc ["document_expression"]>>

An expression declared within a doc tag is used by the engine to load a document to be inserted during runtime. The expression must return a value of one of the following types:

  • A byte array containing document data
  • An  InputStream instance able to read document data
  • A string containing a document URI

While building a report, an expression declared within a doc tag is evaluated and its result is used to load a document whose content replaces the doc tag then.

By default, a document being inserted is not checked against template syntax and is not populated with data as well. However, you can enable this by using a build switch as follows:

<<doc ["document_expression"] -build>>

When a build switch is used, the engine treats a document being inserted as a template that can access the following data available at the scope of a corresponding doc tag:

  • Data sources
  • Variables
  • A contextual object
  • Known external types

For more details on this feature, please visit this documentation article.

Fixes

The following bug is fixed in the latest version of the API.

  • An evaluation mark is added to a nested document being inserted dynamically
