Summary: corrupt xls file after modifying one column Product: POI Version: 3.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: HSSF AssignedTo: dev@poi.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am using HSSF to read 14000+ line xls file and save it into a copy, with one modification: stripping RTF control chars from one column. When I tried to open this output xls, I get "Excel found unreadable content in [filename]." If I allow Excel (v 2003 SP3) to repair the file, it changes my date and currency columns to general cell format. Code: Iterator rit = sheet.rowIterator(); rit.next(); for(int i = 1; rit.hasNext(); i++) { row = (HSSFRow)rit.next(); HSSFCell commentsCell = row.getCell(commentsIdx); if(commentsCell != null) { rtfComments = commentsCell.getRichStringCellValue().getString(); RTFEditorKit kit = new RTFEditorKit(); Document doc = kit.createDefaultDocument(); kit.read(new StringReader(rtfComments), doc, 0); txtComments = doc.getText(0, doc.getLength()); commentsCell.setCellValue(new HSSFRichTextString(txtComments)); } } // write converted workbook to file FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(outfile); wb.write(fileOut); fileOut.close(); -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
