Console.Output to Word file

Looking for some help to figure out on how can I save the output of my C# program into the word file?

class Test
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Application app = new word.Application();
Document doc = app.Documents.Open(filePath);
////Lines of Code
Console.WriteLine(); //Output
//How to save the above Console.Writeline in the word file??
Doc.close();
App.Quit(); } }

Here you go. I created a simple addition program that is giving the same error
using GemBox.Document;

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.IO;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApp4

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

int a = 42;

int b = 119;

int c = a + b;

Console.WriteLine(c);

var previousWriter = Console.Out;

var textWriter = new StringWriter();

Console.SetOut(textWriter);

Console.SetOut(previousWriter);

ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY");

var document = DocumentModel.Load("Document.docx");

document.Content.End.LoadText(textWriter.ToString());

document.Save("Document.docx");

}

}

}

Ram Prasad can you please attach a test project that reproduces your issue so that I can take a look at it?

Hello Pusting,

Thanks for your response to my query. I did try your solution. However, I am getting this error "Cannot read that as a zip file" at the Document.docx stage . I tried changing .docx to .doc which changes the error to "File extension '.doc' is not supported in .NET Standard."

How can I fix that?

var document = DocumentModel.Load("Document.docx")

Thanks.

Here is something you can use:
var previousWriter = Console.Out;
var textWriter = new StringWriter();

Console.SetOut(textWriter);

Console.WriteLine("First sample.");
Console.WriteLine("Second sample.");
Console.WriteLine("Third sample.");
// ...

Console.SetOut(previousWriter);

var document = DocumentModel.Load("Document.docx");
document.Content.End.LoadText(textWriter.ToString());
document.Save("Document.docx");
So basically, this will redirect the Console.WriteLine to that StringWriter, but if you want to have the output text in both Console and in some String variable for you to use it, then you'll need to use Console.SetOut with something like this mirror writer:

Also, I'm using GemBox.Document to write into a DOCX file, for more info about that you can see:

Thank you all for taking time to clarify my doubt

@ Ashutosh Gupta

Section section = doc.AddSection(); //Document does not contain definition of AddSection
Paragraph Para = section.AddParagraph(); // Application does not contain definition of AddParagraph
Para.AppendText(data); // Paragraph does not contain definition of AppendText
Doc.SaveToFile(Filepath);

is giving me errors mentioned above. Please help me rectify those. T

Thanks

Hey try this
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    WriteToFile("Amit Mohanty");
    WriteToFile("Hyderabad");
}

public static void WriteToFile(string text)
{
    try
    {
        string logFilePath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments), "ConsoleApp");
        string logFileName = Path.Combine(logFilePath, "ServiceLog-" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd") + ".doc");

        if (!Directory.Exists(logFilePath))
            Directory.CreateDirectory(logFilePath);

        if (!File.Exists(logFileName))
            File.Create(logFileName).Dispose();

        using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(logFileName, true))
        {
            writer.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} : " + text, DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt")));
            writer.Close();
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}

it is console.readline() to read data.

var data = Console.ReadLine();
Section section = doc.AddSection();
Paragraph Para = section.AddParagraph();
Para.AppendText(data);

Doc.SaveToFile(Filepath);

Hi, will you just write strings into a Word file? The following link might be helpful.
