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.

  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
