The following code example uses a tabular document such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheet where the scope of redaction can be limited to a specific worksheet and/or column. It uses filters to redact the second column with emails on a worksheet “Customers”, leaving all other emails untouched in the document.
GroupDocs.Redaction
final Redactor redactor = new Redactor("sample.xlsx");
try
{
CellFilter filter = new CellFilter();
filter.setColumnIndex(1);
filter.setWorkSheetName("Customers");
Pattern expression = Pattern.compile("^\\w+([-+.']\\w+)*@\\w+([-.]\\w+)*\\.\\w+([-.]\\w+)*$");
RedactorChangeLog result = redactor.apply(new CellColumnRedaction(filter, expression, new ReplacementOptions("[customer email]")));
if (result.getStatus() != RedactionStatus.Failed)
{
SaveOptions so = new SaveOptions();
so.setAddSuffix(true);
so.setRasterizeToPDF(false);
redactor.save(so);
};
}
finally { redactor.close(); }
