--- Comment #1 from PJ Fanning <fannin...@yahoo.com> --- POI uses tonnes of memory anyway. In most use cases, I can't see avoiding a StringBuilder instance will make much difference. XSSFEventBasedExcelExtractor may be the exception here - since this streams, it will use less memory than other extractors. I would suggest that you can copy/paste the code of that class and change it to do what you need it to do. If we change, it could be months before we do a release. If you want to submit a PR to change POI itself, we will review it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
