Hi. I'm new to POI and am getting a little perplexed. I'm trying to do
something seemingly simple - getting text from each slide in sequence
while keeping track of which slide the text is from. However, the slides
do not show up in sequence (and it seems like some slides are repeated
e.g. try it on
http://www.gersteinlab.org/lectures/ppt/A2K-at-Yale-20060422.ppt). Also, I
don't know where/how to get the real slide number.
There seems to have been a related discussion here
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-poi-user/200603.mbox/[EMAIL

but I'm having difficulty following it (too many dead brain cells I
guess). My code is below. Could you tell me what i'm doing wrong and how
to fix it? Thanks!
P.S. Why does getSheetNumber() keep giving me -1?

HSLFSlideShow fn = new HSLFSlideShow (args[0]);
SlideShow ss = new SlideShow (fn);
Slide[] sa = ss.getSlides();
for (int i = 0; i < sa.length; i++) { //for each slide
TextRun[] tr= sa[i].getTextRuns();
for (int j = 0; j < tr.length; j++) { //for each slide
String test = tr[j].getRawText();
System.out.println(test);
}
System.out.printf("\n%d\n--------------NEXT SLIDE-----------------\n",
sa[i].getSheetNumber());
}
} catch (java.io.IOException junk) { System.out.println(junk);
}
}
}
