    Hi,



    What is the best way to search and replace more different strings in the same document?



    So all #string1# should be replaced by #newstring1#, all #string2# by #newstring2#, and so on.



    Should I do a search and replace per string and create a new document.



    Next open the new document and then do the second search and replace? And repeat this as many times as necessary?



    Or could I do this without generating each time new documents? I hope so ...



     



    Regards,



    Robert

    Would it not be easier to use the replace variable?



    $docx = new CreateDocx();

    $docx->addTemplate('Template.docx');



    for($index=1; $index <$numberofstrings;$index++){



              $docx->addTemplateVariable('string'.$index,'string'.$index);



    }



    $docx->createDocx('Files/Report');

    Hello,



    You can use addTemplateVariable or replaceTemplateVariableByHTML to change placeholders in templates.
