使用正则表达式C＃替换文档中的文本字段

Question

I got a simple c# code that can Replace Fields like First name, Middle Name, Last Name in a word document I used Microsoft office object library but I just now found out that Windows word is not allowed in the system so I need to read the Doc File and use a regular expression to Replace the Fields

Ex: I [FirstName] [LastName], Son of [Fathers Name] & [Mothers Name] From [city]. Address [First Name],[Address Line 1]

Now there are going to be eight such templates and need to replace the details FirstName(ex: John) in place of [First Name] LastName(ex: Doe) in place of [LastName] if the middle name is not given then remove the [MiddleName] and create new doc file. These fields may be repeated n number of times can someone please give me an example of how to do this or is regular expression necessary for this(at least 20 such fields in each template ) if I use Find and Replace it is too much of unnecessary code Am I right?

Thank You in Advance

You might want to take a look to the Open XML SDK . You can directly access to the underlying XML of the docx and you don't need Office installed.

This example might also help you.
