Splitting One Text Node into Three

This Example describes a method to split a Text node into three new Node in a DOM document. Methods which are used for splitting of the text node in the DOM Document are described below :-

Element root = doc.getDocumentElement():-allows direct access to the root of the DOM document.

Element paragraph = (Element) root.getFirstChild():-creates a new node named paragraph and gets the child of the root in it.

Text newText = text.splitText(5):-This method splits the text node into two nodes at the specified offset.

            public void split(Document doc) {

                Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();

                Element paragraph = (Element) root.getFirstChild();

                Text text = (Text) paragraph.getFirstChild();

                System.out.println("Text node before spillting is: "+text.getData());

                Text newText = text.splitText(5);

                System.out.println("Spillted First node is: "+newText.getData());

                Text newText1 = newText.splitText(5);

                System.out.println("Spillted Second node is: "+newText1.getData());

                Text newText2 = newText1.splitText(3);

                System.out.print("Spillted Third node is: "+newText2.getData());

            }

        }

Output of the program:-

Text node before spillting is: Rose India in Rohini
Spillted First node is: India in Rohini
Spillted Second node is: in Rohini
Spillted Third node is: Rohini
