Hi Birendar....
I dont know much about the text files as I have experience with the excel
files. But coming to the jar file you can find at
http://ftp.wayne.edu/apache/jakarta/poi/release/bin/ this link.
Then follow these these steps to get the jar files..


*Setting the Jar Files in Classpath*


1. Go to http://jakarta.apache.org/poi, click on the Download link, select
a mirror site, and download the latest release bin -- in my case I chose
poi-bin-2.5.1-final-20040804.zip -- they also have other archive file
formats available, eg .tar.

2. Unzip the .jar files:
poi-2.5.1-final-2004-0804.jar
poi-contrib-2.0-RC2-20040102.jar
poi-scratchpad-2.0-RC2-20040102.jar
from this file and place them in your ../j2skd1.4.2_08/jre/lib/ext (in my
case they go in a directory called /QIBM/userdata/Java400/ext). If you put
them somewhere else, that directory should be in your classpath.

3. The poi-3.0-alpha1-20050721.jar file from the nightly builds link
replaces the poi-2.5.1-final-2004-0804.jar file. Move or delete the latter
so it will use the former.

Hope this will help you at least to some extent.
Bye
