Get replacement text in IRedactionCallback implementation

GroupDocs.Redaction Product Family

Hi Team,

I need to get text that is being replaced in my IRedactionCallback implementation to execute some logic conditionally based on the replacement text. To my surprise I got null. Is there anyway to get text being replaced. A sample unit test code is given below. Also attached document I am redacting.

System details
Groupdocs.Redaction : 23.9
Java : 17
OS : Windows 11

class RedactionDump implements IRedactionCallback {
    public RedactionDump() {
    }

    public boolean acceptRedaction(RedactionDescription description) {
        System.out.print(description.getRedactionType() + " redaction, " + description.getActionType()
            + " action, item " + description.getOriginalText() + ". ");
        if (description.getReplacement() != null) {
            System.out.print("Text " + description.getReplacement().getOriginalText() + " is replaced with "
                + description.getReplacement().getReplacement() + ". ");
        }
        System.out.println();
        return true;
    }
}

@Test
void card() throws Exception {
    try (InputStream data = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/Test Document.docx");
                    final Redactor redactor =
                        new Redactor(data, new LoadOptions(), new RedactorSettings(new RedactionDump()))) {
        redactor.apply(new RegexRedaction("4[0-9]{12}(?:[0-9]{3})?", new ReplacementOptions("[Credit Card]")));
        redactor.save();
    }
}

If you run your code, the output will be as follows:

Text redaction, Replacement action, item 4591500051104102.
Text redaction, Replacement action, item 4591500051104103.

Where 4591500051104102 and 4591500051104103 are credit card numbers being replaced. Just use description.getOriginalText() which contains text being replaced for all textual redactions (even if description.getReplacement() returns null).
