Public Function CopyToString (text As TextRange) As StringParameters
- text
- TextRange
Returns
A non-null string.
Remarks
Copying text from a large range to a string is very expensive and should be avoided.
- You can use TextPosition and TextRange to represent substrings in a document without expending resources copying or allocating strings. Most APIs operate in terms of these primitives.
- You can use the indexer syntax on TextRange, to read or compare character by character in a document without copying it to a string.
