hi, I am trying to read a word file using poifs. But i am unable to get the out put. There is no error . but i am not getting the data.
But the byte array length is showing 113 ( as the size of doc) and the Strring length is showing 113. But when i print string it is not showing the daata.
The characters could (at least partly) be unprintable characters. If you're using DoumentInputStream to get ta byte[], then there is not much point in using POI, is there? You could just as well use the java.io package. The way to extract text from a DOC file using POI is documented here.
HWPF is still in early development. It is in the scratchpad section of the SVN. You will need to ensure you either have a recent SVN checkout, or a recent SVN nightly build (including the scratchpad jar!)
so there is no JAR to download. You have to get the source and build it.
