How to search text in C# and ByteScout Spreadsheet SDK

This tutorial will show how to search text in C#

We made thousands of pre-made source code pieces for easy implementation in your own programming projects. ByteScout Spreadsheet SDK is the SDK to create, read, modify and calculate spreadsheets. Formula calculations are supported, import and export to and from JSON, CSV, XML, databases, arrays and you can use it to search text with C#.

You will save a lot of time on writing and testing code as you may just take the C# code from ByteScout Spreadsheet SDK for search text below and use it in your application. In your C# project or application you may simply copy & paste the code and then run your app! Implementing C# application typically includes multiple stages of the software development so even if the functionality works please test it with your data and the production environment.

You can download free trial version of ByteScout Spreadsheet SDK from our website to see and try many others source code samples for C#.

		{
			// Open spreadsheet from file
			Spreadsheet document = new Spreadsheet();
			document.LoadFromFile("example.xls");

			// Get first worksheet
			Worksheet worksheet = document.Workbook.Worksheets[0];

			// Find cells containing "in" substring

            Cell cell = worksheet.Find(
				"in", false /*case insesitive*/, false /*not regexp*/, false /*search forward*/);

			while (cell != null)
			{
				// Print found cell address and value to console
				CellAddress address = cell.GetAddress();
				string message = string.Format(
					"({0}, {1}): {2}", address.Column, address.Row, cell.ValueAsExcelDisplays);

				Console.WriteLine(message);
                
				cell = worksheet.FindNext();
			}

			document.Dispose();

			Console.WriteLine();
