Current Selection in Text Documents
Also see Getting started.
Having made sure that text is selected, it is common to create a loop to do something to all of the currently selected text. But, remember that the first element of the array is either the current selection when there is only one selection, or the insertion point when there is more than one selection. Thus the following common code:
[oobas]
oCurSelection = thisComponent.getCurrentSelection()
if oCurSelection.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextRanges") then
nCount = oCurSelection.Count
if nCount = 1 then
oTextRange = oCurSelection.getByIndex(0)
'Do some action on oTextRange
else
for i = 0 to nCount - 1
oTextRange = oCurSelection.getByIndex(i)
'Do some action on oTextRange
next
end if
end if
