TemplateProcessor::replaceBlock regular expression not matching

[skwi]

Hello,

I have a non matching case in TemplateProcessor::replaceBlock method regular expression.

In the template document I use, it does not match the tag. Here is a sample of the document where you can see the tag.

<w:p w:rsidR="00D04554" w:rsidRDefault="00015D44" w:rsidP="00C57049"><w:pPr><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri"/></w:rPr><w:t>${</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidR="00D04554" w:rsidRPr="00D04554"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri"/></w:rPr><w:t>ENSEMBLE_PERSONNEL</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidR="00A9712A"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri"/></w:rPr><w:t>}</w:t></w:r></w:p>

<w:p w:rsidR="007227A3" w:rsidRPr="001A55F0" w:rsidRDefault="00015D44" w:rsidP="00C57049"><w:pPr><w:jc w:val="both"/><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri"/></w:rPr><w:t>${/</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidR="00D04554" w:rsidRPr="00D04554"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri"/></w:rPr><w:t>ENSEMBLE_PERSONNEL</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidR="00A9712A"><w:rPr><w:rFonts w:ascii="Calibri" w:hAnsi="Calibri"/></w:rPr><w:t>}</w:t></w:r></w:p>

The tag in the document is ${ENSEMBLE_PERSONNEL} [...] ${/ENSEMBLE_PERSONNEL}

I guess it's related to all the XML tags that Word inserted in the document but the template will be created by non technical users so I can tell them to fix it in the XML.

have you try to parse your xml online ? http://www.freeformatter.com/xml-formatter.html maybe it could be a helper :)

I've got : Unable to parse any XML input. org.jdom2.input.JDOMParseException: Error on line 1: The prefix "w" for element "w:p" is not bound.

The xml was generated by Office Word (and the file is properly opened, even after PHPWord manipulation) so I don't think it's badly formated.

w:p tags seems to be a valid OpenXML word, event if it's not valid in freeformater

I manage to make it work by removing the (<\?xml.*) part of the regex in the TemplateProcessor::replaceBlock method.

It looked like a line break at the beginning of the file made the regex fail. I edited the document with Word 12 on Mac OS 10.10, maybe that the reason for this failing line break.

I am going to work on a fork to se if I can come to a "clean" regex working with my document but keeping the (<\?xml.*).
