GetWordLineIndex Method (GdPictureOCR)

In This Topic
Returns the index of the line, which incorporates the specified word, that is a part of a specified OCR result.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetWordLineIndex( _
   ByVal OCRResultID As String, _
   ByVal WordIdx As Integer _
) As Integer
public int GetWordLineIndex( 
   string OCRResultID,
   int WordIdx
)
public function GetWordLineIndex( 
    OCRResultID: String;
    WordIdx: Integer
): Integer; 
public function GetWordLineIndex( 
   OCRResultID : String,
   WordIdx : int
) : int;
public: int GetWordLineIndex( 
   string* OCRResultID,
   int WordIdx
) 
public:
int GetWordLineIndex( 
   String^ OCRResultID,
   int WordIdx
) 

Parameters

OCRResultID
The unique result identifier of the executed OCR process obtained by the RunOCR method.
WordIdx
The 0-based index of the word within the specified OCR result. It must be a value between 0 and GetWordCount(OCRResultID) - 1.

Return Value

The index of the line, which involves the required word. Please always use the GetStat method to determine if this method has been successful.
Remarks
It is recommend to use the GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.
Example
How to determine, which word belongs to which line in the OCR result.
