Question

I’m using the apache POI to read Word documents. I’m using this example as a template:

http://javamix.wordpress.com/2009/05/14/reading-data-from-the-doc-file-by-using-apache-poi-api/

The problem is I want the contents to read into a JTextPane. And insertString() is not recognized by HWPFDocument.

From the ‘for’ statement that prints to console from the example in the link above, how do change it to print to the JTextPane (if possible)?

Answer 1

import java.io.*;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.HWPFDocument;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.extractor.WordExtractor;

public class ReadDocFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        File file = null;
        WordExtractor extractor = null ;
        try {

            file = new File("c:\\New.doc");
            FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(file.getAbsolutePath());
            HWPFDocument document=new HWPFDocument(fis);
            extractor = new WordExtractor(document);
            String [] fileData = extractor.getParagraphText();
            for(int i=0;i<fileData.length;i++){
                if(fileData[i] != null)
                    System.out.println(fileData[i]);
            }
        }
        catch(Exception exep){}
    }
}
