I have following paragraph (replaced non-breakable space with % here for clarity):

NORMAL11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
non%breakable normal2

I iterate TextPortions in Python UNO and can get all the other character properties like weight, posture, color etc.
TextPortions are:

"NORMAL"
"1"
"1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111"
" non breakable normal2"

The line of code print(portion.CharKeepTogether) gives me an error: "AttributeError: CharKeepTogether".
And indeed, when I inspect all the properties of the portion with unohelper.inspect(portion, sys.stdout) (it prints out all I can get through the object), there is no CharKeepTogether in the list.

I've tried this with LibreOffice 5.3.0 and 5.4.2.2

Any ideas ?

As explained at https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question ... -id-140300, apparently there is no longer a property named `CharKeepTogether`. Try the following code instead.

Code: Select all

def count_nonbreaking_spaces():
    oParEnum = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument().getText().createEnumeration()
    count = 0
    while oParEnum.hasMoreElements():
        oPar = oParEnum.nextElement()
        oPortionEnum = oPar.createEnumeration()
        while oPortionEnum.hasMoreElements():
            oTextPortion = oPortionEnum.nextElement()
            if oTextPortion.TextPortionType == "Text":
                s = oTextPortion.getString()
                for c in s:
                    if c == "\xA0":
                        count += 1
    print("Found %d nonbreaking spaces." % (count))

0xA0 is described at http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode ... /index.htm.

It works, thanks, @j.kornelsn!
